[ros-dev] Job offer: Linux tool to create a valid Windows Registry hive file

[gedmurphy]

Have a look at mkhive in the reactos /tools folder.
This does exactly what you need, reading inf files and building a resulting
hive.

The only problem to this being usable for you right away, is the fact that
the resulting hive can't be read by the NT kernel.
However, as Filip stated, adding security attributes should fix this.

Not exactly cmlib, because we're not very experienced with C. We have
tinkered a bit with pyhive and got it running on x86 with help from IRC,
but as we essentially don't know anything about Windows internals, we
gave up on figuring out why the resulting hives wouldn't load in Windows.
