regCreateKey--Create a Registry Key (Function)

The regCreateKey function creates a key or a key hierarchy under the registry key specified by sKeyParent on the local system or a remote system.

This function has the following syntax:

regCreateKey(sKeyParent, sKey)

sKeyParent: Specifies the parent key.
sKey: Defines the new key

If the function fails, it raises an exception. Otherwise it returns true. The function succeeds if the specified key or part of a key hierarchy exists.

Examples

Create key ACEM under the local machine SOFTWARE key with error handling:

try {
    regCreateKey("HKLM\\SOFTWARE", "ACME");
    ? "Success"
}
    catch(e) {
    ? "Failure", e
}

Create a key hierarchy:

regCreateKey("HKLM\\SOFTWARE", "ACME\\HOME");

Create key ACEM on remote machine client8:

regCreateKey("client8::HKLM\\SOFTWARE", "ACME");
