Reading from the registry #209470 14/02/09 04:41 AM

Tzar469 T	Hi! I'm making a script that will launch an application. The trouble with this is that not everyone installed the application in the same place. However, the installer does write the install path to the registry: HKLM\Software\Westwood\ApocRise\InstallPath Is there a way to read the information stored in this registry key?
