if (tbRegValues) then

for index,value in pairs(tbRegValues) do

bFound = true;

end

Dialog.Message("Error", _tblErrorMessages[error], MB_OK, MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);

end

if (bFound) then

strRegValues = strRegValues.."\r\n".."The key 'Logon User Name' was found.";

else

strRegValues = strRegValues.."\r\n".."The key 'Logon User Name' was not found.";
