RegRead issue

[Brumbie]

I am trying to fill a dimension containing the value of the following registry key in NT4 using the following WScript:

Dim strInstalled, WshShell
Set WshShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell&quot

strInstalled=WSHShell.Regread("HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PagingFiles&quot

msgbox strinstalled

I am getting the following message:

Error: Type Mismatch
Code: 800A000D

I understand that it is an REG_SZ value but have not read anywhere that it should be a problem. In fact, MSDN says that RegRead supports this. I have created string values and can return the correct information.

Can anyone help with this.



Thank you for your time.

This value is of REG_MULTI_SZ type(use REGEDIT to identify this).
Reading this registry type returns an array of strings. To read each item enumerate the array:
Dim strInstalled, WshShell, strPage
Set WshShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell&quot

strInstalled = WshShell.RegRead("HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PagingFiles&quot
For Each strPage In strInstalled
Wscript.Echo strPage
Next
