How to get registry key of running instance of AutoCAD

[Ed__Jobe]

I need to get HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R22.0\ACAD-1007:409\FixedProfile\General of the current instance of acad. The problem is that the section in blue can vary, for my app can run in multiple versions of acad. I can't use the exe path as an indication because that remains in "c:\program files\autodesk\autocad 2018" regardless of the vertical app. Is there a direct way of determining the proper key for FixedProfile?

Hi,

Whate about using HostApplicationServices.UserRegistryProductkey?

If you need to get AutoCAD registry keys from outside AutoCAD, you can see the little AutocadRegistryServices library at TheSwamp.
