[Dirk Hagemann] | @Diez: I'm not trying to hack into somebody's computer - it is about | collecting data from my company's anti-virus-parent-server. | And all the | information is only available in the registry (thanks Symantec...). | | @Tim, olso and Fredrik: THANKS - I will have a closer look at these | modules.
One thing occurred to me later, Dirk: are you trying to get the conventional .reg dump file, ie something which you could reload later into the same or another computer? Or are you simply looking for a textual representation of the registry for analysis etc.? From your comment above it sounds like the latter. Be aware, btw, if you go down the .reg route (the one I suggested): the data in the files are UTF-16 encoded.
