Vista - calling WinAPIs from VBScript

05-06-2009

How do I call WINAPIs from within a VBScript without having to install any
3rd party stuff?

Thanks,
Manas

Basically I just need to toggle (uncheck and then check) "allow inheritable
permissions from parent to propagate to this object" on the Security tab of
a registry key.

Clunky, poorly designed, and as with all
of WMI, it seems to be very slow. But it
does provide the functionality missing from
WScript.Shell. In case it's of use to anyone,
I've got a class that wraps the StdRegProv
mess and exposes a clean set of functions:

Exists
CreateKey(Path)
EnumKeys(Path, ArrayOut)
EnumVals(Path, AValsOut, ATypesOut)
GetValue(Path, Type)
SetValue(Path, Val, Type)
Delete(Path)
