File.Open Not Finding File when path pulled from Registry

[tmangan]

Having a bit of trouble finishing a function that, after it verifies the path of a document, uses

pdfInstallPath = Registry.GetValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\\MyApp\\27", "InstallPath", true);

File.Open(pdfInstallPath.."sample.pdf", "", SW_SHOWNORMAL);

*pdfInstallPath returns the correct pathing information, without the trailing backslash.

This code returns "The Specified File could not be found" (after being run through:
--Check to see if an error occurred.
error = Application.GetLastError();

-- If an error occurred, display the error message.
if (error ~= 0) then
Dialog.Message("Error", _tblErrorMessages[error], MB_OK, MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);
end


I have tried appending the backslash \ using .. and \\, but have not had any luck. If you could tell me where I'm going wrong, it would be appreciated.

Thanks again for your time and help

Have you tried this:

File.Open(pdfInstallPath.."\\sample.pdf", "", SW_SHOWNORMAL);

That works perfectly Lorne, thanks again for the help!
