VB Script to read registry key and display it or display error
I need to read from a specific registry key and if it does NOT exist, display an error message, but if it DOES, then display some text and then what the key says.
This is what I have:
Can someone help me get the rest of this?
This is what I have:
function readFromRegistry (strRegistryKey)
Dim WSHShell, value
On Error Resume Next
Set WSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
value = WSHShell.RegRead( strRegistryKey )
if err.number <> 0 then
readFromRegistry= strDefault
else
readFromRegistry=value
end if
set WSHShell = nothing
end function
str = readfromRegistry("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VDG\Agent Version")
wscript.echo "Digital Guardian Version: " & str
Can someone help me get the rest of this?

Function ReadValue(valuePath, outValue)
On Error Resume Next
Err.Clear
ReadValue = false
outValue = oShell.RegRead(valuePath)
If Err.Number=0 Then
ReadValue = True
End If
On Error Goto 0
End Function
example of using:
Dim strVariable
If Not ReadValue("HKLM\Software\MyApp\MyValue",strVariable) Then
MsgBox "Can't read ...."
Else
MsgBox "My value is " & strVariable
End if

Ok great! Thank you for that. On a second note, I need to read more than just the 1 registry key and output to the screen. I have it working, but on one of the keys there could be different values that indicate different versions. Is there a way to set it so that if the registry key value = a, it will output "Version A", and b, c, etc...
I tried setting up an if then statement but it failed. I am still reasearching this and trying to get it right
