Im trying to retrieve values from a remote registry. I have successfully connected to the remote computer using WMI (system.management).
I have an error in my code below.
Code:
Dim strKeyPath As String = "Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\Current" 
Dim Values() As String

                Dim options As New ConnectionOptions
                options.Username = "username"
                options.Password = "password"

                Dim scope As New ManagementScope("\\" + PCname + "\root\default", options)
                scope.Options.EnablePrivileges = True
                scope.Options.Impersonation = ImpersonationLevel.Impersonate
                scope.Connect()

                If scope.IsConnected Then

                    Dim objClass As New ManagementClass(scope, New ManagementPath("StdRegProv"), Nothing)
                    Dim objClass As New ManagementClass("StdRegProv")
                    objClass.Scope = scope

                    Dim objBase As ManagementBaseObject
                    objBase = objClass.GetMethodParameters("GetStringValue")
                    objBase.SetPropertyValue("hDefKey", CType("&H" & Hex(RegistryHive.CurrentUser), Long))
                    objBase.SetPropertyValue("sSubKeyName", strKeyPath)
                    objBase.SetPropertyValue("sValueName", "Name")
                    objBase = objClass.InvokeMethod("GetStringValue", objBase, Nothing)
                    Values = CType(objBase.Properties.Item("sValue").Value, String())

Does anyone see the error in my code?? Nothing ever gets set into Values.
