Hi. I'm trying to read from the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\22CCD58B53472BE3FCAFF05631111C4062959A43
It's odd that there's a non-guid value at the end, but that's what I'm working with. The Read Registry command is returning no value at all when I try to read this key.
Is there another way to find out if this key exists in the registry?
Thanks.

Dear User,
Are you able to read correctly other Keys under the same registry root?

No. I tried other keys in the registry and can't get a value to be returned in the variable.
Can you provide an example of the "correct" way to use the Read Registry command? I must not be doing something right.
Thank you.

Dear User,
I suppose that probably, you are trying to read a x64 Registry key while your setup runs in 32 bit mode.
Please have a look at the following link, where it is available a sample that demonstrates how to read registry Keys correctly.

That was it. I implemented the check for 64 bit mode and the registry checks work as expected.
Thank you.
Thank you.
