Create windows registry SubKey using QSettings

[Taytoo]

Trying to figure out how to add a subkey to registry path but can't find any method in QSettings?

Example Path: "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall"

I want to add a subkey/path "Acme", so the full path becomes:

"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Acme"

and then in this path I can add string values using SetValue (this part is straightforward)

@Christian-Ehrlicher said in Create windows registry SubKey using QSettings:

I would try with QSettings::beginGroup()

It works, however, only if there is a setValue call between beginGroup and endGroup.

@JonB Tried your suggestion, it didn't work (silent failure). Also tried calling setValue with subkey name empty Variant or String, that didn't create a subkey either.

@Taytoo
I was going to say have you just tried QSettings::setValue("SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Acme\something")? But certianly try @Christian-Ehrlicher's.
