Confused

[Geminias]

this program writes the key to the registry but fails to write the value.

c++:

#include <iostream> int main () { system("reg import test.reg"); return 0; }

"Test.reg"
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\test]
"test"="Hello"




Can someone please enlighten me as to of why it would instantiate a key but no value? Thanks in advance.

if you're going to use the registry I recommend learning the proper interface instead of using a system hack. I can't think of an exact link right now, but I'm sure a quick google, or search of msdn will help.

I am fairly sure the more modern way of setting values in this way is to use and .ini file instead of the registry, and it might be easier too.
