Hi List,
Can somebody help me in what is the standard way to query if a key exists in the registry? I try to implement addig new key in regedit.

I can't tell you off the top of my head since it's been a while since I did any Windows work. However, you might check the Installshield site docs for REG functions. They have a bunch that you call to query the registry and are modeled on the MS ones. If I remember correctly MS C has them also - maybe check the MS knowledge base for info on registry functions. There are functions that you can call and they return success or failure.

Hi :) I received a mail which tries to explain how windows do this. Thanks for it. To make things clear - my question is about wine API to use :)

It depends on the location of the code. Inside most dlls use the advapi functions - RegCreateKey can be used to test for the existance of a key I think. Inside ntdll use NtRegCreateKey and so on. Possibly you need to do this in kernel32 as well, I'm not sure....

For that purpose, just use RegOpenKeyEx():
