Re: Extracting Windows name from the registry

Our set up is Nesus 3.0.4 running on a Windows 2000 SP4 machine.

I have created an .nasl file and copied it
into my plugins\scripts directory which contains all the other .nasl files.
Nessus has been restarted and yet this plugin does not appear under any of
the "Families" even though it has been set "Windows".


I found, by trial, that you have to run a program to install a new or edited
script.  I'm at home now and nessus is at work, but I'm pretty sure it was
build.exe that did the trick.  Also, when changing an existing script, I had
to blow away the XML files created by build.exe before the updated version
would install.  This seems to be the equivalent of purging the database when
downloading plugins.  Again, I haven't seen any documentation for this so
there might be a better way.
