unsupported hive error while read chrome.exe

hl-a-k commented 5 years ago

I need know path of chrome.exe, here is my code:

var regedit = require('regedit')

regedit.list('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\App Paths\\chrome.exe', function(err, result) {
  if (err) {
    return
  }
  console.log(result)
})

And I get

{"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\App Paths\\chrome.exe": 
unsupported hive HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\chrome.exe

My machine is windows 10.

I also encountered this problem, I don't know how to solve it.

Instead of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, use HKLM.

这么写会报错

regedit.list('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run', (err, data) => {
        if (err) {
            console.log(err);
        }
        console.log('data: ', data);
    });

HKEY_CURRENT_USER简写为 HKCU，改成下面的写法就可以了

    regedit.list('HKCU\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run', (err, data) => {
        if (err) {
            console.log(err);
        }
        console.log('data: ', data);
    });

    // HKCU\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run
    // HKCU === HKEY_CURRENT_USER （当前用户sid）
    // 为什么是HKCU？因为regedit不支持HKEY_CURRENT_USER开头的形式，具体请看下面的issues链接
    // https://github.com/ironSource/node-regedit/issues/62
