hi!

I have a problem with QnA.

Q: exist key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall{4B6C7001-C7D6-3710-913E-5BC23FCE91E6}” of registry

A: False

T: 0.081 ms

Yet, I know the key exists.

The answer is False if i do the question in Win7. In WinXP it works correctly with the same question.

Regards

Quick guess, the Win7 system is 64bit and the XP is 32. The Query for the key should look like:

exist key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall{4B6C7001-C7D6-3710-913E-5BC23FCE91E6}” of x32 registry

In this case, you want the following so that you can use the same statement on both 32bit and 64bit OSes:

exist key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall{4B6C7001-C7D6-3710-913E-5BC23FCE91E6}” of native registry
