Can Someone Look At This RGU File And Tell Me Why I'm Getting An Error While Cooking?

[brandontowey]

I keep getting an error in reference to the Google Maps rgu file while in BuildOS. I'd appreciate it if someone took a look and figured out the syntax error. I've tried remaking the package a couple of times, using different cabs but no dice. I would just install after cooking but GoogleMaps is something I want in all of my ROMs so I'd rather have it cooked in. Thanks.

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\kmz\Shell\Open\Command]
@="Program Files\\GoogleMaps\\GoogleMaps.exe""" -KMZ_FILE """%%1"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\kml\Shell\Open\Command]
@="Program Files\\GoogleMaps\\GoogleMaps.exe""" -KML_FILE """%%1"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\gmml\Shell\Open\Command]
@="Program Files\\GoogleMaps\\GoogleMaps.exe""" -GMML_FILE """%%1"

Verify the correctness of these keys and report back.

Those keys should look like this:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\gmml\Shell\Open\Command]
@="\"\\Windows\\GoogleMaps.exe\" -GMML_FILE \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\kml\Shell\Open\Command]
@="\"\\Windows\\GoogleMaps.exe\" -KML_FILE \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\kmz\Shell\Open\Command]
@="\"\\Windows\\GoogleMaps.exe\" -KMZ_FILE \"%1\""

The Package Creator program failed to escape the characters properly.

Yes

There are several other times package creator will fail you. I highly recommend everyone starting of cooking learn to make a package or two by hand. That way when things like this happen they will know why

Not to mention they will respect the time tools such as package creator save compared to doing it by hand.

Thanks, guys. I'm cooking another ROM now due to a huge newbie mistake(GSM on CDMA, oops). I'll report back in a little while as soon as I'm done. Thanks again.

*EDIT - I'll take a crack at making a package manually as soon as I flash my first working, custom ROM. I've been at this for about 12 hours, with 6 hours in the middle to sleep, so I'm in full OCD mode and need to get this done. Thanks for the advice.

Welcome to the wonderful world of cooking ROMs and don't you mean CDO

also another thing you can do is make the package without the rgu file then recook the rom then dump it, don't use packagetool, just leave it in the dump folder and modify the hive files with the reg settings from the rgu.

I got another error with GoogleMaps though I don't remember which so I just left it out. I made the ROM lite to keep any problems to a minimum and it came out pretty well. I'm doing a crap load of research on a lot of stuff before I cook again so hopefully I can figure it out. Next ROM I make, I'll try GoogleMaps again and report back the error I get or if it works.

I haven't dumped a ROM yet. What's the benefit in doing that? I didn't really understand the instructions you gave in regards to dumping and making the package without the RGU. What happens if I do that?

Thanks again.

SOLVED

I used another GoogleMaps package I found on the site and it cooked fine. Thanks again for everyone who helped.
