Reading Data From Registry

Hey there!

I'm currently developing a media player program. I just learned some about registry usage. So, and I want to add some easter eggs to my program, for example when you entered some special word into my login screen i want to show current installed MS Office program's version and installation key. I found that this data stored on

HKEYLOCALMACINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\x.x\Registration\{blablabla}\ProductName

HKEYLOCALMACINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\x.x\Registration\{blablabla}\ProductID

 

I want to reach Product Name by using this:

 

Dim officename AsString

My.Computer.Registry.LocalMachine.GetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\12.0 \Registration\{90120000-0030-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}", ProductName)

officename = ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\12.0 \Registration\{90120000-0030-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}", ProductName)

txtOfficeName.Text = officename

 

But why this won't work? What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks,

Hans
