The problem is that buffer is defined as a "const WCHAR *", while free expects "void *".
Change the var to WCHAR *, why would you free a const string without a warning?
My mistake after all. I wasn't thinking straight (does slight fever count as an excuse?). The var should be WCHAR *. I see it now - since the buffer was written to using RegQueryValueEx, and therefore required a cast to LPBYTE, I didn't catch this error. That is part of the reason Strastroup says casts are evil....
Do you want an official patch, or will you just remove the "const"?
