Pull request overview
This PR addresses a Windows installer update crash in the boinccas custom action by making BOINCCABase::GetRegistryValue resilient to zero-length registry data, and adds a regression test to ensure empty registry values don’t crash the restore-setup-state path.
Changes:
- Guard
strValue.back()with an emptiness check before trimming a trailing'\0'inBOINCCABase::GetRegistryValue. - Add a unit test covering the “setup state stored + registry values present but empty” scenario and asserting expected defaults/outputs.
