Is there portable Avisynth without need to reg?

[jonnysun]

I've seen from this thread
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=121588

that somebody actually made a portable package. However, sometimes we don't have the authority to change the registry files or system files (not the administrator of PC). Is it possible to have a portable avisynth without register to the system? Something like putting the toolkits in the same directory and it will work. ( I don''t know).

You cannot use the AVIFIle interface to Avisynth without adding the required keys to the CLSID part of the registry.

To use the C++ or C API interfaces you just need a local copy of avisynth.dll accesible by the target application.

You can always try adding them to the HKCU CLSID key, see if that has any effect.

That's correct, the COM loader running as a normal process will see a merged HKLM/HKCU hive. (Note: HKCR is a subset of HKCU).

However, the reverse is not true. Admin processes will not see HKCU keys. Apparently they consider it a security boundary (http://blogs.msdn.com/junfeng/archive/2006/09/05/742295.aspx).

Have anyone tried it? What would then be the .reg file to use with a user account? The one which needs admin rights looks like this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{E6D6B700-124D-11D4-86F3-DB80AFD98778}]
@="AviSynth"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{E6D6B700-124D-11D4-86F3-DB80AFD98778}\InProcServer32]
@="T:\\utility\\avisynth\\AviSynth.dll"
"ThreadingModel"="Apartment"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Media Type\Extensions\.avs]
@=""
"Source Filter"="{D3588AB0-0781-11CE-B03A-0020AF0BA770}"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AVIFile\Extensions\AVS]
@="{E6D6B700-124D-11D4-86F3-DB80AFD98778}"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\avs_auto_file]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\avs_auto_file\DefaultIcon]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\avsfile]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\avsfile\DefaultIcon]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Avisynth]
"plugindir2_5"="T:\\utility\\avisynth\\plugins"

Hi,

I tried the following:


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\CLSID\{E6D6B700-124D-11D4-86F3-DB80AFD98778}]
@="AviSynth"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\CLSID\{E6D6B700-124D-11D4-86F3-DB80AFD98778}\InProcServer32]
@="D:\\userName\\avisynth_2_5\\AviSynth.dll"
"ThreadingModel"="Apartment"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Media Type\Extensions\.avs]
@=""
"Source Filter"="{D3588AB0-0781-11CE-B03A-0020AF0BA770}"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AVIFile\Extensions\AVS]
@="{E6D6B700-124D-11D4-86F3-DB80AFD98778}"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\avs_auto_file]
@="AviSynth Autoload Script"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\avs_auto_file\DefaultIcon]
@="D:\\userName\\avisynth_2_5\\AviSynth.dll,0"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\avsfile]
@="AviSynth Script"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\avsfile\DefaultIcon]
@="D:\\userName\\avisynth_2_5\\AviSynth.dll,0"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Avisynth]
"plugindir2_5"="D:\\userName\\avisynth_2_5\\plugins"


But it does not seem to work. In particular, x264 fails on a .avs file when using AVIFileOpen() with error REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG (i.e., handler for .avs not found in registry), and megui does not detect avisynth on start. I'm using XP, and the keys ended up in HKEY_USERS and do not show up in HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

Any ideas on this?

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,

Eduardo
