How to add keys into HKLM\Comm\Tcpip\ ?

[Guest aleho]

I need add new registry key into HKLMCommTcpip, because it is equivalent to HOSTS file. But this registry part is with others (under HKLM: Comm,Drivers,HARDWARE,SYSTEM,Init,Security) protected by defaults. :?

Is it possible to change somewhere required trust level or policy to enable it?

I managed to set a static IP adress in protected registry by cab file. :)

Here's how to:

(1)

You need two files - CabwizSP.exe and cabwiz.ddf - from Smartphone 2002 SDK Release 1.0, which you get here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&DisplayLang=en

(Just unzip these files. No need to install whole package.)

(2)

Create an .INF file from this example:

[Version] ; Required section

Signature = "$Windows NT$"

Provider = "myname"

CESignature = "$Windows CE$"

[CEStrings] ; Required section

AppName = "anyname"

InstallDir = %CE5%%AppName% ; Install in My DocumentsAppName

MyMachine = "MyPCName" ; <--- CHANGE HERE: Replace by name of your workstation

[strings] ; Optional

reg_path = "CommTcpipHosts%MyMachine%" ; Define string key

[DefaultInstall] ; Required section

AddReg = RegSettings ; Points to RegSettings for registry root list

[RegSettings] ; Required section

HKLM,%reg_path%,ipaddr,0x00000001,C0,A8,00,01 ; <--- CHANGE HERE: IP of your workstation as four segement hex format e.g. 192.168.0.1 = C0,A8,00,01

[sourceDisksNames] ; Required section

1 = "No CD" ; Installer wants any source, so it will get one

[sourceDisksFiles] ; Required section

none.txt = 1 ; Installer also wants a file, so we give it one. This file MUST exist in same directory

[DestinationDirs] ; Required section. Just ignore it.

DefaultDestDir = 0,%InstallDir%

(3)

Put all files and any "none.txt" file in same directory an run "CabwizSP.exe yourinf.inf". This wil generate a yourinf.cab, which you transfer and

install on your phone to have the settings written. (You may afterwards delete directory "My Documentsanyname", which is created on install.)

Hope this helps, Krille
