Remarks:
The RegistryQuery method returns the value data of a specified value key in the computer's Windows registry. This function can help to determine where programs and files are installed; this information is important when creating scripts that are to run on different system setups.
Because this function can pass a string or numeric value, the specified variable should be a variant. You can use the CorelScriptTools.GetType function to determine a variant's subtype.
You cannot use this method to query binary values, except for those that can be converted to a number.
