How do you write a new Reg_Expand_sz value to the resgistry with vb.net
this used to work when you pad the string with a null.
Anyone know how or what i'm doing wrong ? It just writes a new Reg_sz value
to the reg.
Dim rk2 As Microsoft.Win32 .RegistryKey =
Microsoft.Win32 .Registry.Local Machine.CreateS ubKey("Software \RegTest\")
rk2.SetValue("S tuff vb.net expanded string", New System.String(" %PATH%" &
Microsoft.Visua lBasic.vbNullCh ar))
rk2.Close()

First of all, are you getting some error?
Secondly, the RegistryKey class writes strings as sz only. If the value was
originally definined as expand_sz, it will retain that flag, but you cannot
control that from the .NET class. In either case, the value will always
contain the unexpanded path, so you'll always have to use
Environment.Exp andEnvironmentV ariables on the value to property read it.

So when i open the registry editor i can see that it created a new
Expandable string value.
I can create all the other types of values expect for the one in question.
Thanks

As I am reading the .NET documentation, I get the feeling
that Microsoft is trying to get rid of the registry. My
understanding is that an application built using .NET
does not use the registry at all. So, conceivably as
applications are migrated to .NET, the registry could
disappear in a future version of Windows. Does anybody
out there agree with me?
Of course, they might keep the registry for backward
compatibility purposes.

Is there a way to create a registry key, but orphan it from the program that
created it?
Reason: Create a key, but not associate it with the program, so that the
program can check for that key to see if the product has been installed and
stop a second installation or illegal installation.
If not orphan, can you encrypt the Key so that only your program can decrypt
