    'Open the key
    Dim Key = Reg.OpenSubKey("Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion")
    'OpenSubKey returns Nothing on keys that don't exist so make sure we've got something
    If Key IsNot Nothing Then
        'Grab the value
        Value = Key.GetValue("CommonFilesDir")
    Else
        'Unable to open key, do something here
