@nibanks Currently, this expects the registry format for these to be binary blobs, which is difficult to use since .reg files apparently don't support the REG_BINARY type. It's easy to read into memory, however.
Should we instead use something like REG_MULTISZ or a regular string with comma-separated values (in hex) which is easier for admins, but requires more work from us when reading in (and the risks of string parsing).
I'm open to design suggestions.

I thought REG_BINARY is supported everywhere. Try exporting one to a .reg file to see if it works.

Looks like CLOG failed. Please update the sidecar.

Ah, I tried editing the .reg file in notepad and it garbled the file encoding causing the error I was seeing; when I used VSCode to edit the .reg file, it was easy to import. I'll keep the REG_BINARY type unless you think there's a better solution.
