Windows Registry Access VIs doesn't work!

[ziraf77]

I can't access to a Registry Key. For example, the VI in attchments to get printer list, gets out an empty string array.
I'm using LV 6.1 over WinXPPro.

Any one can help me?
Thank's

I took a quick look at your code. One thing to try is to change the "security access mask" value to KEY_READ.

I was able to get my printers using your VI reading the key, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printer\Connections also using LabVIEW 6.1 on XP Pro.

The System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers key is empty on my PC, so can't help there. Everything looks correct from what I can tell.

Your vi worked fine for me. I'm using LV7 / XP Home. Are you sure the registry key exists and there is a value?

Hi,

How about rootkey:"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" and key
"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers"

Use Regedit to check... The key you used doesn't have any printers on my PC.

Regards,

Wiebe.
