Hi @ll,

according to <https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724884.aspx>
the value data for REG_SZ and REG_EXPAND_SZ must be

| A null-terminated string…

and the value data for REG_MULTI_SZ must be

| A sequence of null-terminated strings, terminated by an empty string ().

The registry hives delivered with ALL versions of Windows but contain
entries with improper/invalid value data which does not satisfy the
data type…
