Not Able to create Registry key

Question

I tried the below code to create Registry Key. but not successfull.

Microsoft.Win32.Registry.LocalMachine.CreateSubKey("Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uninstall\\MyKey", Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.ReadWriteSubTree);

Even this command is not returning any Exception. I need help on this

Thanks skharod

If you don't get an error, it's possible that you are looking in the wrong place in the registry. If your code is 32 bits on a 64-bit system, some registry keys are redirected. — 500 - Internal Server Error, Mar 18 '15 at 14:16
If you don't get an exception then you *know* that the key got created. Look in Software\Wow6432Node instead. — Hans Passant, Mar 18 '15 at 14:16

You need administrator privileges to create a key in Local Machine.. Perhaps you should try running the application as administrator..
