Registry Key Syntax

[Jeff@ATS]

Using the following as an example:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\AutoRotation]
"Enable"=dword:00000000

I created the following as "On Post Install"

Registry.SetValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AutoRot ation", "Enable", "00000000", REG_DWORD);

If I merge the registry key listed first, it works, the "On Post Install" did not set the key

Please advise

[Jeff@ATS]

Registry.SetValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Aut oRot ation", "Enable", "00000000", REG_DWORD);

The post added a space that is not there in AutoRotation

[Jeff@ATS]

Registry.SetValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AutoRot ation", "Enable", "00000000", REG_DWORD);

That line of code probably should be written as this.

Registry.SetValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\AutoRotation", "Enable", "00000000", REG_DWORD);

Backslashes in strings need to be escaped.
