Syntax
uint32 SetBinaryValue(
[in] uint32 hDefKey = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,
[in] string sSubKeyName,
[in] string sValueName,
[in] uint8 uValue[]
);
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| hDefKey | UInt32 | Optional parameter that specifies the tree that contains the sSubKeyName path. The default value is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (0x80000002). The following trees are defined in Winreg.h: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (0x80000000) HKEY_CURRENT_USER (0x80000001) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (0x80000002) HKEY_USERS (0x80000003) HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG (0x80000005) HKEY_DYN_DATA (0x80000006) Note that HKEY_DYN_DATA is a valid tree for Windows 95 and Windows 98 computers only. |
| sSubKeyName | String | Specifies the key that contains the named value to be set. |
| sValueName | String | Specifies the named value whose data value you are setting. You can specify an existing named value (update) or a new named value (create). Specify an empty string to set the data value for the default named value. |
| uValue | UInt8[] | Specifies an array of binary data values. |

Requirements
To use StdRegProv, the following requirements apply:
PowerShell
Get-CimInstance was introduced with PowerShell Version 3.0, which in turn was introduced on clients with Windows 8 and on servers with Windows Server 2012.
If necessary, update Windows PowerShell to Windows PowerShell 5.1, or install PowerShell 7 side-by-side.
Operating System
StdRegProv was introduced on clients with Windows Vista and on servers with Windows Server 2008.
Namespace
StdRegProv lives in the Namespace Root/CIMv2. This is the default namespace. There is no need to use the -Namespace parameter in Get-CimInstance.
Implementation
StdRegProv is implemented in Stdprov.dll and defined in RegEvent.mof. Both files are located in the folder C:\Windows\system32\wbem:
explorer $env:windir\system32\wbem
notepad $env:windir\system32\wbem\RegEvent.mof
