Registry query / DoesKeyExist

Why does the following query not work?


result = Registry.DoesKeyExist(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "System\\ControlSet001\\Control\\Nis\\Language\\In stallLanguage\\0407");

if result == true then
Dialog.TimedMessage("Please Wait...", "German Text", 20000, MB_ICONINFORMATION);


elseif result == false then
Dialog.TimedMessage("Please Wait...", "Englisch Text", 20000, MB_ICONINFORMATION);


end
