Not sure users of the forum have this kind of knowledge.
Have you tried to ask on the dev mailing list?

In BasicLibraries->ImportWizard is "QueryValue" to read the Registry.
Unfortunately it seems to be broken since OO3.3

From the above Thread, sth like this works:

Code: Select all

sub readreg
WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
keyy = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\LibreOffice\LibreOffice\4.4\Path"
MsgBox WshShell.RegRead(keyy)
end sub
