I'm trying to get the Windows ProductId from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion but it returns null, but ProductName does return the correct value. I am thinking Windows has some kind of protection or that it's not being ran as an administrator?

If the latter, can someone tell me how to run my application with administrative privileges IN Java ?

I don't need suggestions like 'use this program to get the key', please just answer my question.

Thanks in advance,

Rick.

You cannot do it with a Jar for some security reasons.

Even if you use a Jar for launch another script in VBS, your VBS script haven't enough of system right for read the Windows registry binary keys.
