Re: RegClosekey returning wrong value in Vista business
You didn't include a code snippet, and this really isn't a
programming-centric newsgroup.
I would strongly believe that RegCloseKey is returning 'invalid handle'
because your handle is invalid.
Using my psychic debugging abilities, I bet you are using something similar
to this code:
RegOpenKeyEx( HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, L"Software\\Contoso\\SubKey", 0,
KEY_QUERY_VALUE, &hKey );
...
RegCloseKey( hKey );
- where you are a) assuming administrative credentials you never
automatically have (not on XP either, given that there are non-admin users
there too) and b) not properly checking the return value of RegOpenKey or
RegCreateKey or similar.
This is a complete and utter guess given the lack of code snippet. I
apologize if I'm off-base.
