WntOwnerSet

[therkilt]

I have similar code working for the x86 section of the registry but have been unable to get the following to work on the x64 section of a Windows 8 registry

Code (winbatch) Select Expand


if RegExistKey(@REGMACHINE,`SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayer`,64) then
Key = RegOpenKeyEx(@REGMACHINE, `SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayer`,`FULL`,64,``)
Result = wntOwnerSet("", Key, ``, 400, "S-1-5-32-544", 3)
ret = wntAccessMod("", Key, 400, 3, 0)
RegCloseKey(Key)
RegDeleteKey(@REGMACHINE,`SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayer`,64)
endif


It gets to the WntOwnerSet command and carries out the command correctly (Sets the owner) however Windows says the application quit unexpectedly at that point so the other commands fail to complete.  Windows gave the following info about the crash:
Problem signature:

This appears to be an access violation however the process is being run as an administrator

Update:
I found that if I changed the FULL registry access to READ on the open command and the WntOwnerSet to not ZAP the DACL it works:

Code (winbatch) Select Expand


if RegExistKey(@REGMACHINE,`SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayer`,64) then
if RegExistKey(@REGMACHINE,`SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayer\SafeVersions`,64) then
Key = RegOpenKeyEx(@REGMACHINE, `SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayer\SafeVersions`,`READ`,64,``)
Result = wntOwnerSet("", Key, ``, 400, "S-1-5-32-544", 1)
RegCloseKey(Key)
endif
Key = RegOpenKeyEx(@REGMACHINE, `SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayer`,`READ`,64,``)
Result = wntOwnerSet("", Key, ``, 400, "S-1-5-32-544", 1)
ret = wntAccessMod("", Key, 400, 3, 0)
RegCloseKey(Key)
RegDeleteKey(@REGMACHINE,`SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayer`,64)
endif

On Windows 8, If you want to set the group ownership of an object using a SID string in place of an account name, flags = 17 and 'account-name' contains the SID string value.

Maybe try this instead:

Code (winbatch) Select Expand

Result = wntOwnerSet("", Key, "", 400, "S-1-5-32-544", 17)
