I'm puzzled by the readRegistry function.

Shouldn't the "hive" argument be something like 
c("HLM", "HCR", "HCU", "HU", "HCC", "HPD") rather than 
c("HLM", "HCR", "HCU", "HU", "HCC, HPD").

For example,
> readRegistry("Test",  "HCC, HPD")
Error in readRegistry("Test", "HCC, HPD") : invalid 'hive' value

Please note also that only the first character of the 'key' argument value is
printed in case of error (key not found).

> readRegistry("SOFTWARE\\DummyTest",  "HLM")
Error in readRegistry("SOFTWARE\\DummyTest", "HLM") : 
  Registry key 'S' not found
