I have the following code that runs on Server 2003 and Server 2008. It will read the key in the registry otherwise it will create it if it does not exist.

LOCAL  loWSH As wscript.Shell
loWSH = Createobject("wscript.shell")

TRY 
     MESSAGEBOX(loWSH.RegRead('HKLM\SOFTWARE\Talk\Default Printer\myname\'))
CATCH TO oErr 
   IF oErr.ErrorNo = 1429
       loWSH.RegWrite('HKLM\SOFTWARE\Talk\Default Printer\myname\', 'Lexmark', "REG_SZ")
   ENDIF
   
ENDTRY

However, when I run this on Server 2012R2 it does not create the key in the specified location.

Instead it right to
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1004336348-813497703-1708537768-1122\Software\Classes\VirtualStore\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Talk\Default Printer\myname

Why is this happening?

How can I get to right the key to the location specified.

I have several programs that I need to convert to run on server 2012 R2

Thanks in advance
