System.ArgumentException = while deleting registry key

[Asawari]

Hi

I'm trying to delete 1 registry key. It is giving me exception as
System.Argument Exception: Cannot delete a subkey tree because the
subkey does not exist.

For deleting subkey, how to provide the key name?

For e.g.

1) "SOFTWARE\Micro soft\Windows\Cu rrentVersion\Un install" + "\\" +
subKeyName

Here "subKeyName " implies the software that is to be deleted.

OR

2) only subKeyName

OR

3)
"HKEY_LOCAL_MAC HINE\\SOFTWARE\ \Microsoft\\Win dows\\CurrentVe rsion\\Uninstal l"
+ "\\" + subKeyName

Any help / clue will be very much helpful.
Thanks in advance.

Regards
Asawari

I guess - you want to delete 1 key & you are using "DeleteSubKeyTr ee"
Try using "DeleteSubK ey" instead

No.
i'm using DeleteSubKey method only.

Inspite of using this method, it's giving this exception.

If the key does not have further keys under it (in left pane)
Registry.LocalM achine.DeleteSu bKey(@"SOFTWARE \Microsoft\Wind ows\CurrentVers ion\Uninstall\B lah");

Use DeleteSubKeyTre e, if it has further keys under it (as in
sub-folders)
