RE: Windows registry: how hard can it be...
code:
MPPLUGIN_RETURN_BOOL Initialize(/*[in]*/ DWORD nVersion,
                                /*[in]*/ const char* sUserEmail,
                                /*[in]*/ IDispatch* iMessengerObj)
{
    bool retValue = TRUE;
    long retCode = 0;
    HKEY regKey;
    unsigned long szType = 0, szSize = MAX_PATH;
    unsigned char szValue[MAX_PATH];

    retCode = RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE/Patchou/MsgPlus2",
        0, KEY_QUERY_VALUE, ŪKey);
    if (retCode != ERROR_SUCCESS)
    {
        MessageBox(NULL, "Error opening registry", "Error", MB_OK);
        retValue = FALSE;
    }
    else
    {
        retCode = RegQueryValueEx(regKey, "PluginDir", NULL,
            &szType, szValue, &szSize);
        if (retCode != ERROR_SUCCESS){ retValue = FALSE;
            MessageBox(NULL, "Error reading registry", "Error", MB_OK);
        }
        else strcpy(sPluginPath,
            reinterpret_cast<const char*>(szValue));
    }

    retCode = RegCloseKey(regKey);

    if (retCode != ERROR_SUCCESS){ retValue = FALSE;
        MessageBox(NULL, "Error closing registry", "Error", MB_OK);
    }

    return retValue;
}

Try that:) You can thank DJM for it:p
