Currently this is not supported by FPC.
What needs to be done is implement
function TRegistry.RegistryConnect(const UNCName: string): Boolean;
begin
Result := False;
end;
in packages/fcl-registry/src.
The function indicated by Flavio must be used for this.
So I'd guess that would be something like:
function TRegistry.RegistryConnect(const UNCName: string): Boolean;
Var

Not entirely. According to the Delphi documentation RootKey needs to

As a workaround for older FPC versions simply set RootKey to the value
returned by RegConnectRegistry.
Note: The login stuff mentioned on the MSDN page needs to be done
nevertheless.
Implemented in FPC revision 25332.
Attached is an example program that shows how to remotely connect to
another machine (this can also be used for using RegConnectRegistry
directly in case of FPC 2.6.2 and older). The machine name is given as
UNC name as first argument (e.g. \\SomeComputer) and the username as
second argument. The password will be queried on the command line by
Windows. If the connection is successful the keys of HKEY_USERS of the
remote machine will be enumerated. Tested on a Windows 7 machine
connecting to another Windows 7 machine.
Note: The remote registry service must run on the destination machine.

right but it has to be specifically added, correct? it has not (yet)

upped my FPC and lazarus a few hours ago ;)
Code in trunk:
=== code begin ===
sl := Nil;
reg := TRegistry.Create(KEY_READ);
try
reg.RootKey := HKEY_USERS;
if not reg.ConnectRegistry('\\SomeMachine') then
raise Exception.Create('Could not connect');
reg.OpenKeyReadOnly('\');
sl := TStringList.Create;
reg.GetKeyNames(sl);
for s in sl do
Writeln(s);
finally
reg.Free;
sl.Free;
end;
=== code end ===
Equivalent code in 2.6.2 and earlier:
=== code begin ===
sl := Nil;
reg := TRegistry.Create(KEY_READ);
try
if RegConnectRegistry('\\SomeMachine', HKEY_USERS, key)
ERROR_SUCCESS then
raise Exception.Create('Could not connect');
reg.RootKey := key;
reg.OpenKeyReadOnly('\Software');
sl := TStringList.Create;
reg.GetKeyNames(sl);
for s in sl do
Writeln(s);
finally
reg.Free;
sl.Free;
end;
=== code end ===
For this he can open the remote registry with RegConnectRegistry
and pass resulting HKEY handle to the Rootkey property of a TRegistry
instance.
Afterwards he can work normally with TRegistry. At the end he needs to
close the
Rootkey using RegCloseKey. This is basically what TRegistry now does

well.

You are only opening either HKEY_USERS, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or
HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA using
RegConnectRegistry/TRegistry.ConnectRegistry. All other subkeys are
opened using the normal registry API (be it directly or through
TRegistry) and Windows handles the rest. When exactly it sends the
modifications to the remote machine is up to Windows.

Sven
