Registry.GetValue always return null

Question

I have the following key in my registry:

under:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\RSA I have value object call - WebExControlManagerPath and its value is c:\

I am trying to do this:

var r = Registry.GetValue(@"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\RSA", "WebExControlManagerPth",null);  if(r!=null)     ProcessAsUser.Launch(ToString()); 

But r value is always null.

Any ideas?

The statement of Jason is right, the operating system is the problem, the below code will help you to resolve.

RegistryKey localKey; if(Environment.Is64BitOperatingSystem)     localKey = RegistryKey.OpenBaseKey(RegistryHive.LocalMachine, RegistryView.Registry64); else     localKey = RegistryKey.OpenBaseKey(RegistryHive.LocalMachine, RegistryView.Registry32);  string value = localKey.OpenSubKey("RSA").GetValue("WebExControlManagerPth").ToString();
