Most likely the error is in what you placed before the #include <winreg.h>. Can you show that ?

Does that mean that the winreg.h header is not self-sufficient ? Interesting design choice heh.

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
