You already know that LabVIEW can do this natively; why use .NET?

LabVIEW has Registry VIs. Of course do you need elevated rights for write access to certain parts of the registry, but that will not change if you put your registry access code into a .Net assembly and call that from a LabVIEW executable.

The .Net assembly eventually calls the same advapi.dll functions to access the registry and the check is in those functions if the current process has the correct permissions. By going through a roundabout through the .Net assembly should not change anything on that or Microsoft has a very serious problem!
