win32.getRegistry()

I'm trying to read a value from the registry, specifically the "MachineGuid" value for the purpose of locking the indicator to a user's machine.

The code I'm using is as follows:

Code: Select all

 local value = win32.getRegistry("HKLM SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Cryptography", "MachineGuid");



but "value" always returns 'nil'. I have confirmed the value exists via RegEdit.

Can someone confirm that this function still works? Has anyone tried it on Windows 10?
Perhaps there is a permissions issue?

I know this was posted years ago... but it's still not working :o
Is there any update or forecast for when this will be fixed?
Is there any workaround available ?

Thanks
