change "CurrentVersion" in the registry

[slappynutz]

Hi all,

We use a small program (can't remember the name off the top of my head) but what it does is display the computer name and IP address in the corner of the desktop. The program also has the ablity to display almost anything from the registry. Well we want to put the current version of our image in there so as we help our users we will know which version of RIS they are useing. Any help would be greatful

Is it BgInfo? If it is, there should be a way to manually enter reginfo into the config file, but I don't know how you would go at pulling the RIS version from there...isn't that normally held on the server? You could try and insert your own reg entry during the RIS setup that provides the version info, and then pull that through BgInfo.

Check this thread out for more info:

It's a link to BgInfo's forum, which someone is asking a similar question. Looks like it's possible if you know the full path to the regkey.

If it isn't BgInfo then I have no clue...good luck!

Yep that is the name of the software. I thought about doing that, making my own reg entry, was just trying to see if there was another way.
