Cheat Engine

[fade2gray]

I've not had the need to use windowsrepair.exe, just curious what events may cause the need to use it.

I see this in windowsrepair.lpr ...

some programs add the cheat engine exe files to that registry, which causes them to be unable to get executed

the sse4 avx version isn't in there yet as those programs also didn't include it yet.

"Including 'cheatengine-x86_64-SSE4=AVX2.exe' in your custom build should not cause any issues and can actually be a proactive measure. By adding it to your windowsrepair.exe script, you ensure that if any future programs decide to block this executable by adding it to the 'Image File Execution Options' registry, your script will already be prepared to remove it.

I tried adding it to the code above, i hope this helps against any potential issues with the cheatengine executable:

begin
deleteKey('\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\Cheat Engine.exe');
deleteKey('\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\cheatengine-i386.exe');
deleteKey('\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\cheatengine-x86_64.exe');
deleteKey('\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\cheatengine-x86_64-SSE4-AVX2.exe');

deleteKey('\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\Cheat Engine.exe');
deleteKey('\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\cheatengine-i386.exe');
deleteKey('\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\cheatengine-x86_64.exe');
deleteKey('\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\cheatengine-x86_64-SSE4-AVX2.exe');

reg:=Tregistry.Create;
try
reg.RootKey := HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE;
if reg.OpenKey('\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options',false) then
begin
reg.deletekey('Cheat Engine.exe');
reg.deletekey('cheatengine-i386.exe');
reg.deletekey('cheatengine-x86_64.exe');
reg.deletekey('cheatengine-x86_64-SSE4-AVX2.exe');
end;

if reg.OpenKey('\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options',false) then
begin
reg.deletekey('Cheat Engine.exe');
reg.deletekey('cheatengine-i386.exe');
reg.deletekey('cheatengine-x86_64.exe');
reg.deletekey('cheatengine-x86_64-SSE4-AVX2.exe');
end;
finally
reg.free;
end;

if (ParamCount=0) or (ParamStr(1)<>'/s') then
messagebox(0,'Your windows install should be repaired. Try running Cheat Engine now', 'Windows Repair (CE)',0);
end.
