I'm posting this so others can avoid a headache.
The OpenSubKey function of the RegistryKey object in .NET does require
two backslashes between keys on some machines (ex. "Software\
\Microsoft\\Office") even with VB.NET.
I came accross an issue where my development and test machines did not
require the double slashes, but the client's machine did. The
application was written in VB with VS 2005. I'm not sure what was
different about the client's computer, but suspect it may have been an
OS difference.

In which version of VB.Net, this is the name for the versions 2002 and
2003, do you mean one of those?

You are right, and I have looked for it twice. Probably not awake at that
time.
