Windows 10: ShowKeyPlus

So as it turns out, the compile error was an easy fix... just a default that neded to be over-ridden in the manifest (only MS and approved vendors get FullTrust...) oh, well.

Once it's installed further Appx's will install as an upgrade and separate certificate installation will no longer be necessary.

Update:
V1.1.1.0
Correction: Loading hives is NOT fixed yet - even with the change from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to HKEY_USERS (loading hives can only be done with elevation which is not allowed - need to implement an alternate method)
- Removed elevation

V1.1.2.0
Fixed dll compile error.
Signed Appx


V1.1.7.0
Fixed offline registry access (using offreg.dll) 
- It will redirect to Regback folder with auto-discovery (forward arrow) - still need to update the title in the ''Retrieve Key'' dialog to that effect
The config/SOFTWARE hive is owned by BUILTIN/Administrators which cannot be accessed by standard user - whereas the Regback/SOFTWARE hive is owned by System which can.

Congrats!

Hi @Superfly

Over on seven have a user who was gifted a comp on retirement
From Windows 7 enterprise to a home version - Windows 7 Help Forums

basically the company purchased batches of Dell comps slammed Enterprise on them, KMS .
In this case they were shipped with W8. PRO

Now the more interesting part for you
According to the Mgadiag tool there is a slic table presesnt and the W8 marker
(Which i would expect as they came with downgrade rights to W7)
However when i asked her to run ShowkeyPlus v 1 0 6477
Hoping to confirm it had the Dell Pro product keys embedded
(dont know what it is tho -W8 Pro )
It provides the standard OEM key output
BUT the
OEM version shows as invalid
