registry

Hi all,
I would like my program to enumerate all the subkeys of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

source:

char buffer[255]="";
int retval=22;
FILETIME ftLastWriteTime;
DWORD max = 255;
int i;

retval=RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,NULL,0,KEY_ READ,&rtch);

for (i=0,retval=ERROR_SUCCESS;retval == ERROR_SUCCESS || retval
==ERROR_MORE_DATA;i++) {

retval=RegEnumKeyEx(rtch,i,buffer,(LPDWORD)&max,NU LL,NULL,NULL,&ftLastWriteT
ime);
printf("%s\n",buffer);
}
the program only enumerates the first 2 subkeys of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE but
there are 5 subkeys.
there must be a bug somewhere, unfortunately I can't find it.

Can anyone help me?

any help is appreciated.

You are using a platform specific API. You would have better luck in one of
the comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.* groups.
