I’m using VB.NET application.

Quote:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\QuickProjects.\\QSUp date]
"InstallDir"="C:\Program Files\ QuickProjects.\QSUpdate"


Can anyone tell me how to read the full path from registery key?

Sometimes the path might be “C:\Projects\QuickProjects.\QSUpdate”, sometimes it might be “T1\root\Program Files\QuickProjects.\QSUpdate”.

I have no idea knowing what it is… That’s why i need to get it from the registry. Whatever path is in that registry entry is the path I need.

I just want my VB.NET program to determine the full path from the registery key.

I know that the registery key is: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\QuickProjects.\QSUpdat e

What I meant by "full path" is the location of where the
registry key been installed. For example: "C:\Program
Files\ QuickProjects.\QSUpdate"

And i tried this code too,

Code:
Dim key As RegistryKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("Software\\QuickP rojects.\QSUpdate", False)
Dim value As String = CType(key.GetValue("InstallDir"), String)
key.Close()but value is nothing.

using regedit.exe i double check and Software\\QuickProjects.\QSUpdate exist.

If you know how to find out the path from registry key, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

i tried this,
          Dim path As String
        Dim NewKey As RegistryKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("Software\QuickPr ojects.\QSUpdate", True)

    If Not NewKey Is Nothing Then
             path= CType(NewKey.GetValue("InstallDir"), String)
            MessageBox.Show(path)
        Else
            Dim Mykey As RegistryKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("Software", True)
            'Add one more sub key
            Dim NewKey1 As RegistryKey = Mykey.CreateSubKey("QuickProjects.\QSUpdate")
        'Set value of sub key
            NewKey1.SetValue("InstallDir", "C:\Program Files\QuickProjects.\QSUpdate")
        End If
MessageBox.Show(path)

its working.
