Hello,

Using the new lang parameter, I want to make a config file for CCleaner that will install it in the correct language according to system locale.

This example works well:

Code: Select all

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
GUIMode="2"
RunProgram="ccsetup.exe /S"
;!@InstallEnd@!

;!@Install@!UTF-8:Language:1036!
GUIMode="2"
RunProgram=-
RunProgram="ccsetup.exe /S /L=1036"
;!@InstallEnd@:Language:1036!

If French system is detected, it will run "ccsetup.exe /S /L=1036", in all other cases, it will run "ccsetup.exe /S" (CCleaner will be in English on first start).

CCleaner have support for 47 languages, so, if I want to create a true international sfx, can i use some variables in the config file, or must I create every lcid variable in the config file ?

I'm thinking of something like RunProgram="ccsetup.exe /S /L=%lang%"

Edit: maybe I can use this command in batch: wmic OS get OSLanguage but I'm a newb in batch syntax and I don't know how to retrieve the result and insert the variable after....

[gora]

Code: Select all

;!@Install@!UTF-8! 
SetEnvironment="Lang=1033"
GUIMode="2"
RunProgram="ccsetup.exe /S /L=%Lang%"
;!@InstallEnd@!

;!@Install@!UTF-8:Language:1036!
SetEnvironment="Lang=1036"
;!@InstallEnd@:Language:1036!

;!@Install@!UTF-8:Language:1049!
SetEnvironment="Lang=1049"
;!@InstallEnd@:Language:1049!

;!@Install@!UTF-8:Language:1058!
SetEnvironment="Lang=1058"
;!@InstallEnd@:Language:1058!

[mooms]

Thanks gora, it's a bit better, but with this we still have to manually add the 47 supported languages in the config file.
Do you know a way to retrieve the lcid and inject it in a variable ?

This works (in a cmd file):

Code: Select all

for /f  "delims=" %%i in ('wmic os get oslanguage') do echo %%i

But the returned result is on 3 lines, so the result in line 2 is always overwritten by the third line which is empty.
I have great difficulty with batch syntax

[gora]

Code: Select all

;!@Install@!UTF-8! 
RunProgram="hidcom:cmd /c For /f \"skip=1\" %i In ('wmic os get oslanguage') Do ccsetup.exe /S /L=%i & Exit" 
GUIMode="2" 
;!@InstallEnd@!

Gora, 1033 will work on en-US but will it be called for en-GB and the other English Locale ID values? Does one have to specify each oslanguage?

Will the hex values work?

which should work just as well. (Just shows how to use the /Value option.)

That was also my concern, so I have tried
ccsetup.exe /S /L=4105 and ccsetup.exe /S /L=13321 and they are correctly set in English on first start, so it seems OK.

I've tried with an unsupported lcid, like Dari (048c, 1164) ccsetup.exe /S /L=1164 CCleaner is launched in English, so there is no problem.

Thanks bphlpt, but that didn't work either:

[ricktendo64]

Fix the quotes

\" = "

[bphlpt]

gora and I both ran into the issue of needing to escape the inner quotes around either "skip=1" or "tokens=2 delims==". I'm not that familiar with the syntax of the config file. Is it "skip=1" and "tokens=2 delims==" ??

EDIT: I assume Rick meant "quotes" instead of "commas"

Fix the commas

" = "

Cheers and Regards

[ricktendo64]

Just because you use 13321 and CCleaner launches in English does not mean it worked, CCleaner will default to English if the number is unrecognized/wrong

Anyway I was not asking about CCleaner, I was refering to the 7zip SFX (trying to make a Intl .net 4.5)

[mooms]

Just because you use 13321 and CCleaner launches in English does not mean it worked, CCleaner will default to English if the number is unrecognized/wrong

Correct, so I've also tried 12300, 2060, 3084 and CCleaner was always launched with the correct settings for the 3: French.

gora and I both ran into the issue of needing to escape the inner quotes around either "skip=1" or "tokens=2 delims==". I'm not that familiar with the syntax of the config file. Is it \"skip=1\" and \"tokens=2 delims==\" ??

It's surely because I don't understand the syntax, but even in command prompt/in batch file, these two commands didn't worked:

Code: Select all

For /f "tokens=2 delims==" %G In ('wmic os get OSLanguage /Value') Do ccsetup.exe /S /L=%G

For /f "skip=1" %i In ('wmic os get oslanguage') Do ccsetup.exe /S /L=%i

[bphlpt]

It's surely because I don't understand the syntax, but even in command prompt/in batch file, these two commands didn't worked:

Code: Select all

For /f "tokens=2 delims==" %G In ('wmic os get OSLanguage /Value') Do ccsetup.exe /S /L=%G

For /f "skip=1" %i In ('wmic os get oslanguage') Do ccsetup.exe /S /L=%i

If you are trying it in batch mode, then change %G to %%G and %i to %%i.

Using only one "%" is for command line mode.

Me, I don't understand the syntax for config files.

Cheers and Regards

[mooms]

The syntax of the modified module seems more simple for me, at least I understand the basics....

Using only one "%" is for command line mode.

That was my mistake indeed.


So here is my findings after adding the missing %:

Code: Select all

For /f "skip=1" %%i In ('wmic os get oslanguage') Do ccsetup.exe /S /L=%%i & Exit"

This works, but it also launch the installer a second time with ccsetup.exe /S /L= so CCleaner will always been in English. Surely a problem with the skip value but I don't know more.

Code: Select all

For /f "tokens=2 delims==" %%G In ('wmic os get OSLanguage /Value') Do ccsetup.exe /S /L=%%G

Works perfectly, so I have tested this command in the config file.



But even with apparently correct syntax (adding a \ before the " (and only keeping one %) it didn't worked....I was a little disappointed...


And, suddenly, I have found the error, its was a typo ! hidcom instead of hidcon....


I've also discovered it didn't work if launched on XP at T-13 (CCleaner is not installed at all).
Maybe wmic is not available at T-13.
I have added an autoinstall option that will add a RunOnceEx key to address this.

This works perfectly:

Code: Select all

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
GUIMode="2"
RunProgram="hidcon:cmd /c For /f \"tokens=2 delims==\" %G In ('wmic os get OSLanguage /Value') Do ccsetup.exe /S /L=%G"
AutoInstall="hidcon:reg add HKLM\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\RunOnceEx\\ccleaner /ve /d \"CCleaner\" /f"
AutoInstall="hidcon:reg add HKLM\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\RunOnceEx\\ccleaner /v 1 /d %%S\\%%M /f" 
;!@InstallEnd@! 

Just add the switch /ai if you want to run it at T-13 stage of XP setup (svcpack addon)
If the LCID is incorrect/unknown, CCleaner will be launched in English.

Here is the sfx is someone wants to test:
ccleaner_3271900_v5.exe
MD5: 0754efa09283457e83890910c7f95eb8

Many thanks to you three !

[bphlpt]

As a possible alternative to:

Code: Select all

For /f \"tokens=2 delims==\" %G In ('wmic os get OSLanguage /Value')

you might be able to use this which doesn't rely on wmic:

Code: Select all

For /f "tokens=3 delims= " %G In ('reg query "hklm\system\controlset001\control\nls\language" /v Installlanguage')

The only problem is that the reg query returns the LCID in base 16 (Hex) rather than base 10, ie %G will be equal to 0409 instead of 1033 for US English. I also don't know if that value will be set up at T-13, but if it is, and you are able to enter the Hex value in ccsetup.exe, then that might work.

If you need the value to be decimal and not hex, that can be done, but I haven't figured out a way to do it on one line. But it would be trivial to make an external batch program that could return the value in decimal, it would only need to be 3 lines or so, something like this:

Code: Select all

@echo off & Setlocal
For /f "tokens=3 delims= " %%G In ('reg query "hklm\system\controlset001\control\nls\language" /v Installlanguage') Do (Set /a "%1=0x%%G")
Endlocal&Exit /b 0

Save the above as lcid.bat and save it where the config file will be able to access it (probably next to ccsetup.exe). Then I THINK your config file could be written like this?:

Code: Select all

;!@Install@!UTF-8! 
RunProgram="hidcon:cmd /c Call lcid.bat _lcid & ccsetup.exe /S /L=%_lcid% & Exit" 
GUIMode="2" 
;!@InstallEnd@! 

I've tested the batch but not the config file.

Cheers and Regards

Why are you using .bat extension instead of .cmd ? there is a particular reason ?

Quickly tested your batch on French Win7 x64, console said something is incorrect , CCleaner is installed but in English.
However, if we integrate a batch file, it is maybe simpler to run the whole thing from the script, only using the sfx to launch the batch.

Anyway, that's just for fun and knowledge, I don't really need other language than French.

AddOn posted here

[gora]

Try this:

Code: Select all

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
RunProgram="hidcon:cmd /c For /f \"tokens=3 delims= \" %G In ('reg query \"hklm\\system\\controlset001\\control\\nls\\language\" /v Installlanguage') Do Set /a _lcid=0x%G & Call ccsetup.exe /S /L=%_lcid%"
GUIMode="2"
;!@InstallEnd@!

[bphlpt]

Thanks gora. I had forgotten about using "Call" to force evaluating the variable again to get around the delayed expansion problem. But, while your syntx seems to work, I would add one more set of quotes in the "Set /a" to make the command meet "specifications". Like this:

Code: Select all

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
RunProgram="hidcon:cmd /c For /f "tokens=3 delims= " %G In ('reg query "hklm\\system\\controlset001\\control\\nls\\language" /v Installlanguage') Do Set /a "_lcid=0x%G" & Call ccsetup.exe /S /L=%_lcid%"
GUIMode="2"
;!@InstallEnd@!

I would hope that will work. mooms, as more of a config file expert than me, you'll just have to try this and see. Since gora thinks it might, that's a strong vote as far as I'm concerned. But remember, I'm not sure whether the registry key will be set correctly at T-13 anyway, but it would be nice to know if it is since this seems to be a very quick and compact way to do this for other projects if it works.

For those wanting to know a little more about batch command syntax, here is a explanation about the delayed expansion issue and the solution implemented above:

From run-two-commands-in-one-windows-cmd-line-one-command-is-set-command:

Q:
<snip>
However, the following command sequence does not run as expected (at least by me):

Code: Select all

C:\Users\Administrator>set name=value & echo %name%
%name%

<snip>
As we can see, the first echo cannot get the environment. Could you help to comment? Any comment will be appreciated!

A:
Your result is due to the fact that %name% is expanded during the parsing phase, and the entire line is parsed at once, prior to the value being set.

You can get the current value on the same line as the set command in one of two ways.

1) use CALL to cause ECHO %NAME% to be parsed a 2nd time:

Code: Select all

set name=value&call echo %name%

Note: your original line had a space before the &, this space would be included in the value of the variable. You can prevent the extra space by using quotes: set "name=value" &...

2) use delayed expansion to get the value at execution time instead of at parse time. Most environments do not have delayed expansion enabled by default. You can enable delayed expansion on the command line by using the appropriate CMD.EXE option.

Code: Select all

cmd /v:on
set "name=value" & echo !name!

Delayed expansion certainly can be used on the command line, but it is more frequently used within a batch file. SETLOCAL is used to enable delayed expansion within a batch file (it does not work from the command line)

Code: Select all

setlocal enableDelayedExpansion
set "name=value" & echo !name!

NOTE: If the first solution above is used in a batch file, escape the %'s with second ones like:

Code: Select all

set name=value&call echo %%name%%

So based on above, this alternative also might work (not tested):

Code: Select all

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
RunProgram="hidcon:cmd /v:on /c For /f "tokens=3 delims= " %G In ('reg query "hklm\\system\\controlset001\\control\\nls\\language" /v Installlanguage') Do Set /a "_lcid=0x%G" & ccsetup.exe /S /L=!_lcid!"
GUIMode="2"
;!@InstallEnd@!

------------------

Why are you using .bat extension instead of .cmd ? there is a particular reason ?

No, no particular reason. In fact you are correct that I really should almost always use .cmd. (.cmd files won't run with a double click on Win9x family OS, so .bat are preferred/required there.) I have often used them interchangeably when working in NT family OS, since they are both handled by CMD.EXE, but your question made me investigate further and this is what I found:

From windows-batch-files-bat-vs-cmd:

From Wikipedia:

New Quote from Wikipedia

The only known difference between .cmd and .bat file execution is that in a .cmd file the ERRORLEVEL variable changes even on a successful command that is affected by Command Extensions (when Command Extensions are enabled), whereas in .bat files the ERRORLEVEL variable changes only upon errors.

The source for the Wikipedia quote above is actually based on this news group posting.

The differences between .CMD and .BAT as far as CMD.EXE is concerned are: With extensions enabled, PATH/APPEND/PROMPT/SET/ASSOC in .CMD files will set ERRORLEVEL regardless of error. .BAT sets ERRORLEVEL only on errors.

Note only is it a little more restrictive concerning the differences, than the Wikipedia text, but is also worth being explicitly mentioned, given the fact Mark Zbikowski himself - which gives a huge credebility bonus IMHO.

So the difference is very slight, but I should have used .cmd. Thanks for making me look that up.

Cheers and Regards

I have tried your and gora's last config file:
They both failed to install CCleaner in French on Windows XP SP3 French. (Cleaner is installed but in English)

Not tried at T-13 stage obviously.

They both works fine on Win7 x64 French however.


Here is an archive with the two installers and all the needed files to test: http://www.mediafire.com/?hvxbg34kf3r81hv

Tip: you can install CCleaner on top of an other install, you just have to set an other language in CCleaner before starting again the silent install, so you will be able to see if the parameters are working by launching CCleaner again.

[bphlpt]

After a bit of rework, and thanks to further testing by mooms, here are four alternatives to the above that have been shown to work correctly in live versions of both Win7 and XP to automatically install a multi-language install package in the language of the installed OS with no other switch or other interaction from the user required. mooms has also confirmed that the first example works correctly in XP at T-13, and there is no reason to believe the others would not work there as well if you prefer one form over the other.  All four of these should work exactly the same for all versions of Windows from XP through Win8 and 2012.  I would probably use the first alternative just because it seems more "complete" with the extra redirects of any potential error message and I usually like my installs to be silent, and because using the CALL is slightly more natural than invoking the delayed expansion at the command line.  Of course, if the redirects mess up ccsetup in any way, or any other install this method is tried on, or you wish to have further control over the output that is shown to the user, then I would suggest the third alternative form.

Code: Select all

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
RunProgram="hidcon:cmd /c \"FOR /f \"tokens=2*\" %G IN ('reg query \"hklm\\system\\controlset001\\control\\nls\\language\" /v Installlanguage 2^>NUL ^| FIND \"REG_SZ\"') DO SET /a \"_lcid=0x%H\" & CALL ccsetup.exe /S /L=%_lcid%\" >NUL 2>&1"
GUIMode="2"
;!@InstallEnd@!

Code: Select all

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
RunProgram="hidcon:cmd /v:on /c \"FOR /f \"tokens=2*\" %G IN ('reg query \"hklm\\system\\controlset001\\control\\nls\\language\" /v Installlanguage 2^>NUL ^| FIND \"REG_SZ\"') DO SET /a \"_lcid=0x%H\" & ccsetup.exe /S /L=!_lcid!\" >NUL 2>&1"
GUIMode="2"
;!@InstallEnd@!

Code: Select all

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
RunProgram="hidcon:cmd /c \"FOR /f \"tokens=2*\" %G IN ('reg query \"hklm\\system\\controlset001\\control\\nls\\language\" /v Installlanguage ^| FIND \"REG_SZ\"') DO SET /a \"_lcid=0x%H\" & CALL ccsetup.exe /S /L=%_lcid%\""
GUIMode="2"
;!@InstallEnd@!

Code: Select all

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
RunProgram="hidcon:cmd /v:on /c \"FOR /f \"tokens=2*\" %G IN ('reg query \"hklm\\system\\controlset001\\control\\nls\\language\" /v Installlanguage ^| FIND \"REG_SZ\"') DO SET /a \"_lcid=0x%H\" & ccsetup.exe /S /L=!_lcid!\""
GUIMode="2"
;!@InstallEnd@!

 
The required changes from what was tried before were 1) differences in the output of "reg query" in XP vs Win7 required using the 'FIND \"REG_SZ\"', and 2) when you use multiple commands concatenated together with "&" it requires surrounding the combined command in yet another set of quotes.

FYI, if you ever wanted to test these kinds of commands in a "regular" bat/cmd file, the syntax is slightly different, here's how the first two would look (for the other two just delete the error redirects):

Code: Select all

@echo off
cmd /c "FOR /F "tokens=2*" %%G IN ('reg query "hklm\system\controlset001\control\nls\language" /v Installlanguage 2^>NUL ^| FIND "REG_SZ"') Do Set /a "_lcid=0x%%H" & CALL ccsetup.exe /S /L=%%_lcid%%" >NUL 2>&1
pause

Code: Select all

@echo off
cmd /v:on /c "FOR /F "tokens=2*" %%G IN ('reg query "hklm\system\controlset001\control\nls\language" /v Installlanguage 2^>NUL ^| FIND "REG_SZ"') Do Set /a "_lcid=0x%%H" & ccsetup.exe /S /L=!_lcid!" >NUL 2>&1
pause

Cheers and Regards

Hi, you guys are doing a great job using the module for multi-language installs.

...
Do you know a way to retrieve the lcid and inject it in a variable ?
...

I was too busy in late Feb. - early March to add to tranlation of the Russian version of the 7zSFX HelpManual, but want to let you know that there MAY be a new variable in the module which will grab the language of the target system for you, thus making everything a bit easier.

This is a quote from the "Module Variables" section of 7zSD_RU.chm which has been translated by google:

%SfxVarSystemLanguage% - the user interface language of the operating system is set to XXXX
where XXXX - ID the user interface language (for example, 1049 - for the Russian interface, 1033 - for English, etc.)

As you can see, it is not that clear, but I think it means that %SfxVarSystemLanguage% is the 4-digit language code of the target system (not "is set to".)

I don't know if that means version 1.5.0.2712 has this variable or if it is only in version 1.6.0.2712.
I don't have access to anything with a different language Windows UI to test that variable.
Also, I was expecting gora to perhaps introduce and expand on it and some OTHER new variables that were NOT mentioned in the changelog.

[ricktendo64]

I tested with latest v1.5 and it did not work

Code: Select all

RunProgram="cmd /c echo %SfxVarSystemLanguage%>%%S\\test.txt"

Off topic: could somebody take a look at this code I use to fix the icon on my card reader on Windows 8?

Code: Select all

cmd /c for /f "tokens=1*" %a in ('reg query "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\RISDPTSK\Disk&Ven_Ricoh&Prod_SD/MMCStorage&Rev_1.00" ^| findstr /i RISDPTSK') do reg add "%a\Device Parameters" /v RemovalPolicy /t REG_DWORD /d 3 /f

I have to query the registry to look for what this sub-key name is (it may vary)

HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\RISDPTSK\Disk&Ven_Ricoh&Prod_SD/MMCStorage&Rev_1.00\0001

[shiner]

Thanks for quick testing that, Rick.

Now you see another reason I am hesitant to translate the manual without testing everything first -- which takes a bit of time.

Hopefully, gora will at least comment on this new section of the Russian Help manual.

[gora]

shiner
You are making a big mistake, that is translated version 1.5.
Need to translate the help for version 1.6. Help is written for version 1.6, and it describes all the features of this particular version.
In my opinion the reliability of version 1.6 is not less reliable than version 1.5.

The new description of the help of all the variables of the module and the conditions for their use are collected on a separate page. Many new variables, many of the variables have changed their names. There is also a configuration file to test all the variables of the module in two languages. (For version 1.6 only!)

Variable %SfxVarSystemLanguage% - there is a new variable in version 1.6 only.

1.6 develop (сборка 2712) 30.12.12
* Ложное сообщение об ошибке "Файл не является 7z архивом!" (gora:forum.oszone.net)

1.6 develop (сборка 2524) 25.06.12
* Разрушение памяти при установке переменных среды модуля (gora:forum.oszone.net)

1.6 develop (сборка 2518) 19.06.12
# Удален префикс 7z в именах всех переменных среды модуля, например, было '7zSfxVarModulePlatform', стало 'SfxVarModulePlatform'

1.6 develop (сборка 2496) 28.05.12
* На запароленных SFX окно ввода пароля выводилось дважды (Valerkan:forum.oszone.net)
* Некорректная работа ключа '-p' (gora:forum.oszone.net)
+ Переменные среды при работе модуля '7zSfxVarModulePlatform', '7zSfxVarSystemPlatform', '7zSfxVarSystemLanguage'
– Переменная среды при работе модуля '7zSfxVarPlatform'

Once again, I suggest you translation help manual FULL (COMPLETELY).
In this case, I promise you to help.

Я постоянно правлю справку, исправляю технические неточности в описаниях параметров, и тот английский перевод справки, который сейчас имеется на сайте, уже давно не соответствует русскому исходному варианту справки. Мне непонятно то упорство, с которым Вы не хотите сделать полный перевод всей справки!?
Возможно Вас персонально заинтересует возможность делать запароленные SFX, (Вы знаете, наверное, что я делаю такие в некоторых случаях, например Universal Extractor) ? Если Вы согласитесь сделать ПОЛНЫЙ перевод всей справки модуля на английский язык, то я обещаю Вам, что похлопочу перед Олегом о предоставлении Вам доступа в возможности делать запароленные SFX, и думаю, что он не откажет в этом.
Решение за Вами! Сообщите мне о нем, можно в ПМ.

Selective (кусочно-дырочный) translation, you are now using me categorically reject. I can not verify this free translation.

I do not have the registry key HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\RISDPTSK
You can export it to the reg file and link it to check and adjust your line.

[bphlpt]

Off topic: could somebody take a look at this code I use to fix the icon on my card reader on Windows 8?

Code: Select all

cmd /c for /f "tokens=1*" %a in ('reg query "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\RISDPTSK\Disk&Ven_Ricoh&Prod_SD/MMCStorage&Rev_1.00" ^| findstr /i RISDPTSK') do reg add "%a\Device Parameters" /v RemovalPolicy /t REG_DWORD /d 3 /f

I have to query the registry to look for what this sub-key name is (it may vary)

HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\RISDPTSK\Disk&Ven_Ricoh&Prod_SD/MMCStorage&Rev_1.00\0001

rick, I don't have that reg key either, "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\RISDPTSK", and I'm not sure what you expect %a to be, but after just a first glance, I wonder if the &'s in "Disk&Ven_Ricoh&Prod_SD/MMCStorage&Rev_1.00" need to be escaped? If you do this:

Code: Select all

cmd /c for /f "tokens=1*" %a in ('reg query "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\RISDPTSK\Disk&Ven_Ricoh&Prod_SD/MMCStorage&Rev_1.00" ^| findstr /i RISDPTSK') do echo %a>>tst.txt

does tst.txt contain what you expected the value of %a to be? (Modify %a to %%a etc to run this in a test batch/CMD of course.)

Cheers and Regards

Well, gora and everyone,

I have benefited immensely from the work and knowledge of other members of this forum and due to gora's prodding I have decided to take the bull by the horns and attempt an updated translation into English of the full help manual for version 1.6 of the module we are using.

gora, if I have questions on any points I will PM you on them.

I don't like making promises I can't keep, and I can't give a timetable for this translation--but I will give it my best google shot. I should have a good amount of free time this month and next.

[bphlpt]

Thanks shiner. Let us know how we can help.

Cheers and Regards

[Oleg_Sch]

shiner: Even considering my permanent employment, I promise to help you in this work

[shiner]

Oleg,

I have begun by extracting the html from the chm and now I see that it is not that much text to translate.

Jake

[bphlpt]

Hey ricktendo, did you ever figure out what was going on with your OT you mentioned above?

Cheers and Regards

[ricktendo64]

My code I posted has been working, I just wanted sum1 to take a look at it see if I am making any mistakes

What I need to do is query the registry for the name of this subkey

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\RISDPTSK\Disk&Ven_Ricoh&Prod_SD/MMCStorage&Rev_1.00\<HERE>

Then I have to do a reg add with the results and add "Device Parameters" after the subkey (assuming it returned 0001)

reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\RISDPTSK\Disk&Ven_Ricoh&Prod_SD/MMCStorage&Rev_1.00\0001\Device Parameters" bla bla bla

This fixes the ions for my memory card readers
