Can't read registry value (type REG_MULTI_SZ)

[bue@keba]

Hi,

I tried to read a registry value of the type REG_MULTI_SZ (multilined Strings) with CVI8.1

#define REG_STR_BIOSPATH    "HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System"
#define REG_VALUE_BIOSVERSION   "SystemBiosVersion"
.

..

rc = RegReadString (REGKEY_HKLM, REG_STR_BIOSPATH, REG_VALUE_BIOSVERSION, regStr, sizeof(regStr), &lenRegStr);

Getting always error code -5069 (= Icorrect type for registry value). So it seems to me that its not possible to read that kind of regestry value.

So is there a trick? Or does anybody have an idea?
