I added the account "VincentBlondeau" to STHub project. You should be able to

But I tried this already. When I
- switch to 0 in the calling method #example2
- or switch to 0 directly in the RegQueryValueExA wraper
- or use the option optCoerceNilToNull
I still get the generic error.

Yes, thats clear. I usually try to make it "make it run make it right make it
fast", currently I struggle with
the first here. ;)

Commit the code where the call works and I can check. Step by step ...

I really appreciate your feedback! Thanks
