Flush the Registry

Currently, I am writing an environment variable, but it does not get "set" until I either reboot, or open the Environment Variable dialog and hit OK. I believe that there is a Flush method in available in the WinAPI. Would it be possible to create a way for NSIS to call Flush?

Check MSDN. I guess you can find the thing you want to do there. Just build it into a DLL or maybe even a vbs script and call or execute the thing respetively.

Please have a look here:

Are you a developer who uses NSIS to distribute your application? Are you a Winamp plug-in developer who wants to use NSIS to distribute your plug-in? Have suggestions for other people like you? This is the place.

Do you have the source code to RefreshEnv.exe? If so, would you mind posting that as well. Thanks,

There isn't much more there but the line I have already posted. The only other code lines are WinMain decleration and return 😁

I ask because, I searched MSDN for about 4 hours last night looking for an example or something. I FINALLY found an example in an IISSamples object (of all places). I installed it, gave it a try and it didn't work. The code looked right, but it didn't work. I just wanted to see how you did it. If you don't want to share with everyone else, would you PLEASE share with me? 🙂 Email me at me@sixty4bit.com
