Having an issue with RegRead

[allSystemsGo]

Eh, it was worth a shot.

For whatever reason it is not reading that key, which is why your msgbox is blank. Are you sure there is not some soft of error, such as an incorrectly typed variable?

What is the @error value for RegRead?

I took that into consideration, but I can manually locate it in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall

The script cannot

If you are on a X64 OS and your script is running as X86 then perhaps your code is looking at

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall

instead of what you consider as

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall

Try the SecureZip test like this

Func SecureZipReg ()
   Global $SecureZip = RegRead("HKLM64\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{4957C351-2399-47D6-B857-81FBB67E28DB}", "DisplayName")
   MsgBox (0, "", $SecureZip)
EndFunc

So if running as X86 and you want to access HKLM X64 entries then HKLM64 can be used.

Thank you!  That worked. 

Thanks everybody for your patience.  Like I said, this stuff is all still pretty new to me, so I really appreciate all the help and understanding.
