2147483648 can't be converted to RegHandle? #7

Closed ghost closed 2 years ago

ghost commented 5 years ago

when i compile, there raises an error:

C:\Users\Administrator\.nimble\pkgs\winregistry-0.2.0\winregistry.nim(73, 45) Error: 2147483648 can't be converted to RegHandle

2147483648 means HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, but I only use HKEY_CURRENT_USER

so, it seems like there are some errors in type RegHandle?

You are getting this error when compiling for 32 bit arch. The workaround is to use uint instead of HANDLE: https://github.com/miere43/nim-registry/blob/devel/winregistry.nim#L7

Araq is using uint here, https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/devel/lib/windows/registry.nim#L15
