Reading Registry Multi-String

Postby tltaylor76 » Mon Nov 20, 2006 5:00 pm

I have a registry key that has the paths of different installations. This registry key is a Multi-String and updates just fine. Write Registry seems to properly support the multi-string. However, when I read the Multi-String into a variable, it shows up as UNKNOWN$TYPE. I had expected something like this:

Item 1$NEWLINE$Item2$NEWLINE$Item3

Please let me know if I am missing something. Thanks.

It would appear Read Registry does not support multi-strings at this time.

OK...well I just created a .NET class to manage this for me for the moment. Thanks.

Just wondering if IA supports this functionality now (seeing as its been almost a year) - Would be great to have this in - or a valid workaround.
