C# Create Values in Registry Local Machine

Question

The following code is not working for me:

public bool createRegistry()
{
    if (!registryExists())
    {
        Microsoft.Win32.Registry.LocalMachine.Creat         


        

Answer 1

Even when admin I don't think you can create new keys off LocalMachine. Make sure that you do

Registry.LocalMachine.CreateSubKey(@"SOFTWARE\YourCompanyName\SomeNewKey");

and not

Registry.LocalMachine.CreateSubKey("SomeNewKey");
