TRegistry.CreateKey() does not work - neither with administratation-rights!

[BigChimp]

Testing gives

Failed to create key "StorageDevicePolicies"

, no further error messages..
In my test, this code is before the createkey part:

Code: [Select]

if (Registry.OpenKey('\CurrentControlSet\Control', true)) then showmessage('First openkey worked.');so OpenKey fails as well. I'd look into the required syntax and paths for openkey first.

Perhaps a forum search here will give some results.

Oh yes, you're right!
A simple mistake 
I forgot the "system" in my path 

so embarrasing!
And I thought, Lazarus failed....

Thank you very much, BigChimp!

No problem, I'm also very good at making simple mistakes
(However, showing more source code or a small test project can work wonders in these cases as you may be making errors in parts you don't expect...)

Four eyes see defenitely more than only two
And you're right: The mistakes are located where nobody thought of it   ...
