HKCU Registry Settings For All Users doing nothing, no errors, logs look good

N00b · January 31, 2022, 1:23pm

Chasing my tail with this setting. By all accounts it’s working with no error but the value isn’t being written. Code looks like:

		[scriptblock]$HKCURegistrySettings = {
		Set-RegistryKey -Key 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Roxio\Roxio Burn' -Name 'SupportVerify' -Type DWord -Value '1'
												}
		Invoke-HKCURegistrySettingsForAllUsers -RegistrySettings $HKCURegistrySettings

Log looks like:

But nothing is happening in registry for any user. Install is an ugly old exe with quiet parameters that otherwise works fine.

Any input?

OMG. Just use ActiveSetup. PSADT even has a function to set the registry for you.

Your solution will only work with EXISTING users.

Ok. I only need it for existing users, which is why I was going this way, but I’ll do that instead. Thanks!

Edit: Turns out I needed -SID $UserProfile.SID although the help says it’s not required.
