I know only in delphi and C#.
Delphi:
Add to uses Registry.
Make a variable of TRegistry. (Ex. var Reg: TRegistry;)
Add now reg:=TRegistry.Create; (I suggest you to add it in form.create)
Now use Reg.OpenKey(); to open a key, Reg.Read String/Bool/Integer/Binary and remember, when you want to read a value from another key just use Reg.CloseKey(); thats all.
In C# add Using Microsoft.Win32;
And pretty much the same, Registry.BlaBla(); and for reading values if (Registry.BlaBla() == "Blaaaa")
{
Blaaaaaaaaaaa
}
Edit: Wait 2 seconds I'll upload a mini program source. (I'll just comment it and rar  )
Edit2: Attached. (Delphi)

Look up the same API that was given above on the following site:
http://allapi.mentalis.org/apilist/apilist.php
It contains examples for VB6 (and in some cases VB.NET) for almost if not all the API.

If you are refering how to know where to look at in the registry to obtain said information, you would need to open regedit yourself, or another registry editor program. In most cases, games come packed inside an installer which will create registry keys for the most typical things such as the install path, cd location, etc. The usual spot for these to show up for is in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE so looking there first would be a good start.
Taking Steam as an example. The company the creates and publishes Steam is Valve, so inside our registry we look for 'Steam' or 'Valve'.
In this case it was under Valve then Steam as a subkey. From there you can see on the right we have the install path to the program in the registry which is used to easily locate the path to the game.
Not all games use the registry, and not all games keep the path listed in it either. If worse comes to worse, on the first run of your program, have the user select the exe themselves and store the location in the registry yourself, or in another configuration style file such as an INI file.

| Code: | LONG WINAPI RegOpenKey(
__in HKEY hKey,
__in_opt LPCTSTR lpSubKey,
__out PHKEY phkResult
); |
this is the code for RegOpenKey() on msdn, I read the information for it but I still have problems using it..
Will I by using this and putting the regkey for ventrilo 2.1.4.exe as hkey be able to start ventrilo on whichever machine my form is executed on?
//EDIT: Seeing as ventmix sometimes isnt installed, merely unrared which will not lead to the creation of a regkey my application will need, is there a third way of creating a process, like searching for the process name ventrilo 2.1.4.exe somehow?
//EDIT2:
| Code: | RegOpenKey(
HKEY_USERS,
VENTRILO 2.1.4.EXE3FE763CD0008E000,
RegCloseKey();
); |
This is what I'm trying to do in my button_click method but I'm overwhelmed with errors and I'm wondering if C# will interpret code1 different from code2
example code1
| Code: | method(
someting,
something
); |
example code2
| Code: | | method(something, something); |

Heres a quick example in C++ reading a games install path:
| Code: | DWORD dwDataSize = NULL;
HKEY hKey = NULL;
TCHAR tKey[MAX_PATH] = {0};
TCHAR tGamePath[MAX_PATH] = {0};
_stprintf_s( tKey, sizeof(tKey), "SOFTWARE\\Nostale(UK)" );
if( RegOpenKeyEx( HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, tKey, NULL, KEY_READ, &hKey ) != ERROR_SUCCESS )
{
LogText( "[ERROR] Registry entry missing..." );
return FALSE;
}
else
{
DWORD dwType = REG_SZ;
if( RegQueryValueEx( hKey, _T("DestDir"), 0, &dwType, (PBYTE)NULL, &dwDataSize ) == ERROR_SUCCESS )
{
RegQueryValueEx( hKey, _T("DestDir"), 0, &dwType, (PBYTE)(LPTSTR)tGamePath, &dwDataSize );
}
else
{
LogText( "[ERROR] Reg: Failed to locate game path." );
return FALSE;
}
}
RegCloseKey( hKey ); |
The path was located at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Nostale(UK)
And the key that held the path was:
DestDir
Hopefully that should give you some insight.
