GetDWORDValue method of the StdRegProv class "path"

Question

Hello i have got a little problem i want to read out the followin reg_key

"hklm\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update\"

1. I try this with the example from microsoft:

   const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
   strComputer = "."
   Set StdOut = WScript.StdOut
   Set oReg=GetObject( _
   "winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" &_ 
   strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")
   strKeyPath = "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl"
   strValueName = "AutoReboot"
   oReg.GetDWORDValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,strValueName,dwValue
   WScript.Echo "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\" _
   & "CrashControl\AutoReboot" _
   & " = " & dwValue
   

2. Finally changed the keypath "and" value name, when i start the vbs it shown nothing.

3. Here is my code

   const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
   strComputer = "."
   Set StdOut = WScript.StdOut
   Set oReg=GetObject( _
   "winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" &_ 
   strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")
   strKeyPath = "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update\"
   strValueName = "AUOptions"
   oReg.GetDWORDValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,strValueName,dwValue
   WScript.Echo "AUOptions: " &dwValue

That's the difficult way. Even though you don't say what you are doing. Here's an example.

Set Sh = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
strNamet1=Sh.RegRead("HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RegisteredOwner")
