MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Create a new Console Application.
  2. Import the following package:

    import com.ms.wfc.app.*;
  3. Add the following code to main( ):

    RegistryKey r = Registry.CURRENT_USER.createSubKey("Software\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\6.0\\Debugger");
    r.setValue("TestArray",new String[]{"aa","bb","cc"});
  4. Compile and run the code.
  5. View the specified key in REGEDIT.

    With Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3, the key "TestArray" should hold "61 61 00 62 62 00 63 63 00 00" when viewed in REGEDIT.
