Registry value type doesn’t include REG\_BINARY.&nbsp; Is there an alternate way to accomplish this?

Hi Ryan,   
  
 As your most likely already aware FinalBuilder doesn’t have a binary variable type. As a result its currently hard to make sure that a binary value is not altered in some way by the FinalBuilder system. To this end I suggest using a powershell script to alter the registry value in question.   
  
 The powershell script your looking for is;   
  
 Set-ItemProperty -Path . -Name Test -Value ([byte[]](0x33,0x32,0xFF))   
  
 The help on this call is located here:
