Error Entering REG_DWORD Data in Component Designer

[Gabriel K.]

I am entering registry data for a custom component, and some of the entries
are similar to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\C44ntdrv\Parameters
"ContiguousMemory"
Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 80, 01, 00, 00

Now in the Registry Data entry in Component Designer, I figured I should
just enter the REG_DWORD data in the form:

0x80010000

I receive an error message stating 0x7fffffff is the highest number you
can enter. So I'm not sure if I am entering the data wrong, or what to do.

Thanks for any advice.

Gabriel,

IIRC, that bug has been in XPe tools (CD, TD) forever. Since the tools haven't changed since the RTM the bug is still there and not
fixed

You may want to enter that value in decimal equivalent (-2147418112). Or use the workaround Juergen posted in the NG long time ago:

Lol that is funny. I have a hunch it is some uninitialized value or
something if it's negative. Well thanks, I'll take Juergen's advice.
