Okay, maybe I am losing it but I am using CFREGISTRY to determine if a branch exists and if not build the branch with a set of key / value pairs.
I am using CFTRY/CFCATCH to read the branch. If an error is returned such as "unable to read...." Then I would build the branch using the SET action. However using the REQUIRED attributes of CFREGISTRY it indicates in the CF5 book, that if it does not exists, it will be created. This is not the case. CFREGISTRY is turned on. I can create the branch manually and read it with CF but not create it if it does not exists. This is an NT environment by the way. What is the proper syntax to create a branch and entry if it does not exist? I have tried this: <cfregistry action="SET" branch="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\TESTING" Entry="TEST"> <cfregistry action="SET" branch="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\TESTING" entry="ITEMA" type="String" value="TESTITEM"> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm
