VB SCRIPT FOR JAVA APPLICATION
I would kindly appreciate it if anyone can help this scripting issue
I have this java app that needs a vb script to resolve a run time error
the script should read the registry key under hklm\ xxx\xxxx
then write the value and store in a variable
then install the java app with the /q:a /r:n arguments
then write the value in the variable back into the reg key to install the app
any leads would be higly appreciated

So what you want is a MSI package that installs the java app? And within this MSI package it records an existing registry key value, and then after installation it writes this registry key back again?
I don't mind helping you write the script, but can you elaborate on the requirements please?

1) read the registry value from [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Driver Signing]
"Policy"=hex:00,00 before install
2) store value in a variable then write the new value ( value change)
3) install the java.exe with the arguments /q:a ( space) /r:n
4) write the original value in the variable back into the reg key
yes thanks that is my problem. I would be grateful if you can possible help
are there any specific requirements I need to give

This is depends on your actual requirements, but here is a vbscript that should be able to do what you want:
CONST HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
strKeyPath = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Driver Signing"
strValueName = "Policy"
'Read the regsitry key value into the intRegKeyOriginalValue variable.
Set objWMIReg = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\default:StdRegProv")
objWMIReg.GetBinaryValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, strKeyPath, strValueName, intRegKeyOriginalValue
Set objWMIReg = Nothing
'Write the new registry key value.
intRegKeyTemporaryValue = Array(&H00000000, &H00000001)
Set objWMIReg = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\default:StdRegProv")
objWMIReg.SetBinaryValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, strKeyPath, strValueName, intRegKeyTemporaryValue
set objWMIReg = Nothing
'Install the java application.
objShell.Run "C:\Windows\Temp\Java.exe /q:a /r:n", , TRUE
'Write the original registry key back.
Set objWMIReg = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\default:StdRegProv")
objWMIReg.SetBinaryValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, strKeyPath, strValueName, intRegKeyOriginalValue
set objWMIReg = Nothing

Whoops, forgot to tell you to change the following line to suit your needs:
eg: To set the binary registry key to 60:01:4a, the line would read:
And this line
intRegKeyTemporaryValue = Array(&H00000000, &H00000001)eg: To set the binary registry key to 60:01:4a, the line would read:
intRegKeyTemporaryValue = Array(&H00000060, &H00000001, &H0000004A)And this line
objShell.Run "C:\Windows\Temp\Java.exe /q:a /r:n", , TRUE to run your Java app installation.
