system-registry v1.0.0

Windows Registry dump

This is a simple npm module that exports the system registry from Windows XP as a JS object.

Usage

var registry = require("system-registry");

Compiling

Dump the registry to registry.reg, convert it from UTF16 to UTF8 (eg. with iconv), run reg2json.js, prepend module.exports= to registry.json in order to create registry.js. Run a minifier, and copy the output to src/registry.js.

cd src
# Generate registry.reg.
iconv -f utf-16 -t utf-8 registry.reg -o registry.utf8.reg
node reg2json.js
(echo -n "module.exports="; cat registry.json) > registry.js
uglifyjs --mangle -- registry.js > ../dist/registry.js
