Read String Value From Registry and How do I run an external exe file

isocam — Sun, 05 Nov 2017 08:36:47 GMT

Can anybody help?

I need to test Fusion's python API to see if it can do the following simple commands

Firstly.

Read a "String" value from the registry and display it in a message box. Please see the attached picture.

Secondly,

Run an external "exe" application. For testing purposes only, open notepad and wait for it to exit before proceeding. This has to be done without showing the CMD window!

Many thanks in advance!!!!

Darren

Hello,

Please refer to the following two links. "winreg" can be used to access registry in Windows and "subprocess" can be used to execute external process in silence. You should be able to search samples how to use them by Google.

Thanks,
