Run time error using RegCreateKeyEx()

[Guest_imported]

I am trying to create a key using the API - RegCreateKeyEx.
I keep getting baffled by a run time error - "Unhandled exception in project.exe (ADVAPI32.DLL): 0xC0000005: Access Violation."

I am running this under windows XP pro and I AM the administrator.

Here's my code:

PHKEY phkResult1=NULL;
LPDWORD lpdwDisposition1;
DWORD dwOptions = REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE;
long lRes =0;

lRes = RegCreateKeyEx(HKEY_CURRENT_USER,"Software\\myproject",0, "", dwOptions, KEY_CREATE_SUB_KEY, NULL, phkResult1,lpdwDisposition1);

Any help or suggestion ....... Thank you.

You're passing in non-allocated pointers.

Change your code to:

HKEY phkResult1=NULL;
DWORD lpdwDisposition1;
DWORD dwOptions = REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE;
long lRes =0;

lRes = RegCreateKeyEx(HKEY_CURRENT_USER,"Software\\myproject",0, "", dwOptions, KEY_CREATE_SUB_KEY, NULL, &phkResult1,&lpdwDisposition1);
