Can't figure out error....

In the following code:

private: System::Void cmdUnlock_Click(System::Object *  sender, System::EventArgs *  e)
  {
    if ( txtUnlock->Text == "unlockme" )
    {
       RegistryKey* kUnlock = Registry::CurrentUser->DeleteSubKey(S"Player\0");
      MessageBox::Show(S"Unlocked!\nPlease exit and restart application!","Unlocked",
      MessageBoxButtons::OK,MessageBoxIcon::Information);
    }else
    {
     MessageBox::Show(S"Incorrect Code","Error",
     MessageBoxButtons::OK, MessageBoxIcon::Error);
     txtUnlock->Clear();
     txtUnlock->Focus();
     }
 }

I get the following error:
error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'void' to 'Microsoft::Win32::RegistryKey __gc *'

Any ideas how I can fix this?

Looks like this is the problem:

 RegistryKey* kUnlock = Registry::CurrentUser->DeleteSubKey(S"Player\0");

the DeleteSubKey() method returns void.

But why would it return void, when the subkey has already been verified as existing?

I didn't design the API.  See for yourself:

It seems appropriate to me, since you're deleting the specified subkey.
