Reading from the registry - mIRC Discussion Forums

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?

Quick little google search found this on mirc.org:

Code:

alias regread {
 if ($com(rr)) { !.comclose rr }
 !.comopen rr WScript.Shell
 var %a = $com(rr,RegRead,3,bstr,$1-)
 var %a = $com(rr).result
 !.comclose rr
 !return $iif(%a,%a,$null)
}

//echo -a $regread(HKLM\Software\Westwood\ApocRise\InstallPath)

That works great! Thank you so much!
