Reading more than on registry roots

[RobVanBrunschot]

Hello,

I am trying to read in more than one registry root but it does not work!

Normally I work with the rtCurrentUser rootkey but now I also need to read in the rtLocalMachine rootkey but hat allways fails.

Can anyone show me a small example how to do that?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Rob

specci48, thanks for your response.

The only thing is that it does not work for me.
The error message is:
The object reference is not stated on a object

The component registry is added and two objectes are added, reg1 and reg2.

Are you running it on the desktop or on the device?
The registry keys in specci's example are only available on the desktop.

Erel,

I did try it on the desktop (under Windows Vista) and the error comes at the command Label4.Text = reg2.GetValue(key, "Value")

I developed the example under xp.

Maybe vista stores that value at a different place or does anyone know, if these values can only be read with administrator rights?

It works fine on Vista without admin rights.

I got it working, my paths were not correct.

Thanks for all the help.
