How can I read the Registry with WMI.NET?


Should be like this (which is not working):
SelectQuery q = new SelectQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_Registry WHERE 
Key=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE");
                ManagementObjectSearcher searchProc = new 
ManagementObjectSearcher(scope, q);


                ManagementObjectCollection queryCollection1 = 
searchProc.Get();
                foreach (ManagementObject m in queryCollection1)
                {
                    // Display the remote computer information          
                    Console.WriteLine("Caption {0} Description : {1}", 
m["Caption"], m["Description"]);

                }

You can't do it that way, you need to use StdRegProv class (located in 
Root\Default) and it's methods:
