PRoblem with RegRead?

I tried several searches but could not find anything.  I have a problem with RegRead not working on some keys.  I have tested this with about 20 keys in the "HKLM\SOFTWARE\" section and about 70% of them fail with "RegRead - Failed to read specified key from"

An example (For PerfectDisk 14)
RegRead,HKLM,SOFTWARE\Raxco\PerfectDisk\14.0,LicenseKey,%LicenseKey%

returns : RegRead - Failed to read specified key from: [HKLM]Section: [SOFTWARE\Raxco\PerfectDisk\14.0]  Key: [LicenseKey] to variable:: [%LicenseKey%]

But at prompt : reg query HKLM\SOFTWARE\Raxco\PerfectDisk\14.0 /v LicenseKey

returns: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Raxco\PerfectDisk\14.0
    LicenseKey    REG_SZ    XXXXXXXXXXX (but the actual code)


I have checked the permissions and they are all in order.  I am at a loss.

Thank you

Hi Bryan,

On a 64bit system you may have to specify on what node the query goes.

for a 64bit node

Code: [Select]

System,REGREDIRECT,64
RegRead,HKLM,SOFTWARE\Sun\xVM VirtualBox",InstallDir,%VBPath%
System,REGREDIRECT,OFF

for a 32bit node

Code: [Select]

System,REGREDIRECT,32
RegRead,HKLM,SOFTWARE\Sun\xVM VirtualBox",InstallDir,%VBPath%
System,REGREDIRECT,OFF

This command had no effect on a 32bit system.

Deleted my comment as I am doing more testing
