I found quite a few severe bugs in the Registry plugin. First I tried to find a support page but since the read.me says that the plugin's homepage is on totalcmd.net, there is no real support for this plugin (besides the e-mail address mentioned in the read.me). And I think that a public bug report in this forum is better anyways. That's why I chose to write this thread.
First, did I miss someplace to look for support?
Now, for the bugs I found:
- The latest version 4.9 (at the time of writing this post) doesn't work at all on Windows 2000. Trying to configure it using TC Plugins Manager reveals that the plugin is trying to load the function DecodePointer() of kernel32.dll but there is no function with that name on Win2k's kernel32.dll, even with the latest patches applied (including Update Rollup 1).
- Note: Version 4.8 works on Win2k but only in a limited manner because the plugin's own Search doesn't work as it doesn't open at all. The last version fully working on Win2k is 4.4 (took me a few hours to figure this out).
- Version 4.9 with "Access 64 Bit registry" activated doesn't work correctly on WinXP x64. It always shows the 64 Bit branch even in the Wow6432Node key. Besides it works in an infinite loop using this key. See this picture for a more detailed explanation and comparison.
- Note: The feature does work correctly on Win7 x64.
Can anybody confirm these bugs? Does the plugin's author read this forum or do I have to send him an e-mail?
Kind regards
