AutoIt3 and FF.au3 is striking again
with the “error reading registry entry for FireFox”.
On one of my 32 bit computer the registry key CurrentVersion under KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\\Mozilla\Mozilla
Firefox does not exists.
Therefore I got the following error when I run the script on this particular computer:
__FFStartProcess
==> General Error: Error reading registry entry for FireFox.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla
Firefox\*CurrentVersion*\Main\PathToExe
How to fix?
By replacing the regread
function with RegEnumKey function in the __FFStartProcess
function. The fixes is highlighted below.
Note: I made an improvement in how to declare $sHKLM variable.

======Before Update
Local
$sHKLM = 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\'
If
@OSArch <> 'X86' Then $sHKLM &= 'Wow6432Node\'
$sHKLM &= 'Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox'
Local $sFFExe = RegRead($sHKLM & "" &
RegRead($sHKLM, "CurrentVersion") & "\Main",
"PathToExe")
If
@error Then
SetError(__FFError($sFuncName,
$_FF_ERROR_GeneralError, "Error reading registry entry for FireFox."
& @CRLF & _
$sHKLM &
"\*CurrentVersion*\Main\PathToExe" & @CRLF & _
"Error from RegRead: "
& @error))
Return 0
EndIf
====== After Update
Local $sHKLM = 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox\'
If @OSArch = 'X86' Then $sHKLM = stringreplace($sHKLM, "Wow6432Node\", "")
$sHKLM &= Regenumkey($sHKLM ,1) & "\Main"
If @error Then
SetError(___firefox_Error($sFuncName, $__firefox__ERROR_GeneralError, "Error reading registry entry for FireFox." & @CRLF & _
$sHKLM&"\*CurrentVersion*\Main\PathToExe" & @CRLF & _
