Value was null.
Either registry virtualisation, or redirection is interfering.

My guess is the latter. This is consistent with Larrys' report of chere
working on 64 bit Windows 7, as Microsoft states HKLM/SOFTWARE/Classes
is shared on W7 and redirected+reflected on vista, server 2003, server
2008, xp. <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384253%28VS.85%29.aspx>
I'm not on windows right now, but does regtool have the ability to
control redirection/reflection or whether it writes to the 32/64 bit
version of the key? That's what chere would need to operate correctly.
Otherwise it needs to resort to outputting a .reg file and installing it.
