The Wizard of X – Oppa PlugX style, Part 2

Posted on by

Every once in a while I come back to have a second look at some stuff from the past. Today I had a quick look at xwizards.dll that I wrote about before and noticed that I forgot to mention one more thing.

The exported function RunWizard takes GUID as an input. If you register a DLL under a GUID of your choice you can load the DLL via xwizard.exe e.g.:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID]
"CLBVersion"=dword:00000012

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111}]
@="foobar"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111}\InprocServer32]
@="C:\\test\\test.dll"
"ThreadingModel"="Both"

will register c:\test\test.dll under {11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111} GUID. All we have to do now is run:

  • xwizard RunWizard {11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111}
