You might have to tweak this a bit, but here's some (slightly modified from the original) code that redirects stdout and stderr for a process:

        string parms = @"QUERY \\machine\HKEY_USERS";
        string output = "";
        string error = string.Empty;

        ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo("reg.exe", parms);

        psi.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
        psi.RedirectStandardError = true;
        psi.WindowStyle = System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Normal;
        psi.UseShellExecute = false;
        System.Diagnostics.Process reg;
        reg = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(psi);
        using (System.IO.StreamReader myOutput = reg.StandardOutput)
        {
            output = myOutput.ReadToEnd();
        }
        using(System.IO.StreamReader myError = reg.StandardError)
        {
            error = myError.ReadToEnd();

        }
