Question

How to rename a key in the registry using C ++?

I want to rename the key "Myapp \ Version1" to "Myapp \ Version2".

I do not see any functions in MSDN about renaming keys in the registry.

Answer 1

There is no rename function in old versions of windows, you need to copy / delete to your own AFAIK.

Answer 2

If your application requires Vista or a later version of Windows, you can use RegCopyTree (), followed by RegDeleteTree ().

XP, SHCopyKey, RegDeleteKeyEx
