If I have the path \Registry\Machine\Software\a\b\c\d\e

My question, do I need to create a first, then b, then c, etc
or can I create them in one call?

Can you see what's wrong here,

pathWide= L"\\Registry\\Machine\\SOFTWARE\\aa\\bb\\cc\\dd ";
ntstatus= RtlCreateRegistryKey(RTL_REGISTRY_ABSOLUTE, pathWide);


it's failling with,
STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND ((NTSTATUS)0xC0000034L)?

it can't be done pavel, r u trying to confuse???

Here's what he told you:

What do you think is confusing about that? Did you obey?

I looked at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...04135c.xml.asp
and MSDN's silence on this question is pretty clear. MSDN is trying to
confuse. You have to experiment to see if it can be done. And if you rely
on the results of your experiments, Microsoft will blame you for relying on
undocumented behaviour. So when you want to complain about who's trying to
confuse, put the blame where it belongs, OK?

Sorry. I believed that RtlCreateRegistryKey with RTL_REGISTRY_OPTIONAL
will create the full path - but this is wrong.
And "Norman Diamond" is right.
The DDK documentation still leaves *a lot* to wish.

The folks here at DDK docs are not *trying* to confuse you. But if we don't
know that you're having a problem, we can't help.

I'll file a bug on this issue and have the page updated. If you have
specific requests for this page, or any other, send mail to me or to ddksurv1.
