Trying ProduKey to extract winXP from harddrive --
get error 1314 ; Privilege not held
I put the copied registry hive everywhere and always the same
even on a FAT32 flash drive
always the same
google ProduKey for free code
I can get u a hive/registry if you wish to try it
ie /windows/system32/config/software
This can be very useful for ppl wanting to install a fresh version of windows
when their win32 system is dead from virus and they lost their keys--opps

There is no windows install with this program. It is standalone trying to recover the CD key for Win xp.
I have a drive on an IDE with win XP, I boot in ubuntu and can copy the hive
/registry to anywhere needed
then use wine to run ProduKey and give it the loc of the hive...not matter what... I get priv violation

Wine can't read Windows' binary registry files, so neither can any app running under it.rcp.paulson wrote:There is no windows install with this program. It is standalone trying to recover the CD key for Win xp.

produkey.exe can read a binary hive from another system
so i have two partions, a ubuntu and a winxp
i can copy /windows/system32/config/software
<software is the registry hive >
the program can read this binary and find the encrypted XP system key and decrypt it
but it gives the error re permissions
i even copied the file to a thumbdrive formatted fat32 where there are no permissions and wine/linux stops access to the file

to clarify which registry
clearly i am not trying to copy the real winxp hive in binary to the wine hive<ascii>
and then have produkey.exe work on that
it can work directly on the ext system hive binary to decypt the keys

Hi rcp.paulson,
this may be a bug in wine, wine isn't very good, when it comes to system related utilities, so feel free to file a bug.
If you need a solution right now, you could either try to connect your harddisk to ( or copy your windows partition to) a working windows computer and run the produkey tool from there. Or you might try something like a boot cd for windows, see e.g.

They've a keyfinder.exe application, which probably is what you want.

Re: to clarify which registry
No, by itself it [ProduKey] can't read binary windows registry files. It still uses system to do that:rcp.paulson wrote:it can work directly on the ext system hive binary to decypt the keys
Code: Select all
0009:Call advapi32.RegLoadKeyA(80000002,0040c7f8 "$$PRODUCKEY_TEMP_HIVE$$",0014af5c "software") ret=0040327b
0009:Ret advapi32.RegLoadKeyA() retval=00000522 ret=0040327b

Re: Trying ProduKey to extract winXP from harddrive --
I realise this is an old thread, but I just ran across it along with a reference to the hivex subproject of libguestfs.org which provides a library for manipulating Windows binary registry files. I don't know if it would work to implement the functionality needed for these kinds of programs, but it might be worth a look by someone who actually knows enough about it to decide.
