Registry Creation problems

[Guest royzlife@gmail.com]

Hi,

 

When I create any string registry entry (REG_SZ) manually , does it

gets created with NULL value? Because when the same registry key is

created through InstallShield(installation of .msi), I find the binary

value data for the key is 0 0 0 0.

When created manually, its binary value data is 0 0 0 0 | 0 0 0 0.

 

Why is this difference coming? The real problem crops up when I

retrieve the value from registry and check if it contains "" i.e.

nothing. When created manually, this check is working fine but when

created while installation of .msi, this check is failing.

 

It will be helpful if any one can throw a light on this anomaly.
