Input parameters
Name	Type	Description & Examples
64 Bit Architecture	boolean default: true	The architecture specific area definition of the registry search. Options: •enabled = the entry is searched within the 64bit related areas of the registry. •disabled = the entry is searched within the 32bit related areas of the registry.
Hive	formatted string	The registry hive in which RayQC searches for the key and entry defined later. Options: •HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT •HKEY_CURRENT_USER •HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE •HKEY_USERS •HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG
Key	string	The name of the key in which RayQC searches for the entry defined later. Example: Software
Entry	string	The name of the entry RayQC searches for. (Often referred to as "value", even though it seems a bit confusing that a value may have a value itself, which is why the registry plug-in searches for entries, and not values.) Example: RayPack

Gets the type of a registry key.

Usable in combination with elements of type Data Field and Multi-Option.
