When .Reg file and live registry matches, RegDiff.exe returns:

1 value missing in 'RegDiff_Pol_dev.reg':
- Key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE:

Steps to reproduce:

regdiff.exe HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate /merge RegDiff_Pol_dev.reg
regdiff.exe RegDiff_Pol_dev.reg /registry

Annoying workaround
Dont use the /registry switch and specify a starting Reg Key:

PS: I REALLY like the idea of this utility. It`s even mentioned on WindowsClub

Hi, im exporting with regdiff the components mounted hive from an windows iso.

and i get an error when im comparing it with the new version 4.5 which workes with 4.3

key is: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\WIM_COMPONENTS\CanonicalData\Deployments\002aff8c27f..993e96703ca_b03f5f7f11d50a3a_4.0.15840.107_31550aa805a170b2

when i export it wil regedit:

export with 4.3:

and 4.5 which gives an error:

the 2 keys i compare are exactly the same but like i said it failes with 4.5 and works with 4.3

i also tested like you see on the screenshot to use the exported reg from 4.5 and to /diff with 4.3 which also fails.

EDIT:
i just exported with 4.3 my registry and used /diff with 4.3 AND 4.5 and both times it works /btw with 4.5 the cmd allso says Version 4.3)
so its clearly the exported reg with 4.5 which breaks it

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. export entire registry of users on a windows 2012 r2 server
2. compare them

What do you see instead?

System.ArgumentException: Destination array is not long enough to copy all the items in the collection. Check array index and length.
method: com.tikumo.regis3.RegValueEntry.SetBinaryType(RegValueEntryKind kind, byte[] bytes)

else if (Kind == RegValueEntryKind.QWord)
{
try
{
Value = BitConverter.ToInt64(bytes, 0);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e);
throw;
}
}

Cause: Need to verify sufficient bytes are in byte array for the conversion ToInt64() to succeed.

When exporting HKLM before making reg changes, the exception below was thrown. Based on the error message and where the export stopped I suspect the issue is due to the unknown Key type of REG_FULL_RESOURCE_DESCRIPTOR which corresponds to the following regkey on a Win2K16 box
