Q: 

AppID registry key

Hi everyone,

I have a third party Win32/16 application that I am developing Installer for. The application would read a registry key from HKey_Class_Root\AppID directory. In the Installer, I have written the correct registry and have confirmed that using regedit.

The issue is, when the application ran, I can see from Windows Process Monitor (Procmon.exe) that the application would try to open that registry key, but would get "NAME NOT FOUND" in return. The strange thing is from Regedit, the exact key IS present in registry.

I am wondering what can possibly prevent a successful registry open and read in HKCR\AppID folder? I am using account with Administrator privilege.

Thanks in advance.
