For a script that will check/set a Windows registry value. No GUI.
Am writing in Visual Studio, but do not want .NET – just C++.
However, I haven’t figured out where and what methods exist natively in C++ [NOT Visual C++]
that interface with the registry.
I also haven’t worked out how to compile C++ code in Visual Studio 2010 without .NET.
Can someone please direct me to the documentation (or even better, tutorials) of the standard C++ registry related methods.
And furnish me with instructions or point out a tutorial that will allow a complete and total noob to compile in VS a non .NET program.
Please do NOT argue about my aversion to .NET, that has been the subject of other threads.
