The ReadRegistryKey function is used to return the value of a particular registry key contained in the computers registry. This function is often used to dynamically detect the presence of a particular application on an end users computer system. For example, you can check what version of a product is currently installed on a users system – based on this information you can then request they update their version or provide links to latest versions of the software. This is particularly useful if your publication relies on external software to work, such as a PDF reader so people can read your PDF documents.
Note:
This function will work when you publish as a standalone or web publication.
