Hello,
i am wondering what is wrong with my code:

import std.windows.registry;
import std.stdio;

void main(){
     Key lclM = Registry.localMachine();
     Key hrdw = lclM.getKey("HARDWARE");
     writeRegistryKeys(hrdw);
}

void writeRegistryKeys(Key k){
     foreach(Key key; k.keys){
         writeRegistryKeys(key.getKey(key.name()));
     }
     writeln(k.name());
}

i get: 
std.windows.registry.RegistryException std\windows\registry.d(511): Failed to
open requested key: "ACPI"

Even though there is a key called 'ACPI' under 
localmachine/hardware?

  You have everything good except for one line.
         writeRegistryKeys(key.getKey(key.name()));

Let's translate that. Assume key = ACPI... SO...

  ACPI.getkey("ACPI")

  you should see the problem. Here's the correct line!

           writeRegistryKeys(k.getKey(key.name()));

  this just occurred to me i tried to keep to the example but i 
shouldn't have. Since you already have the inner key, just pass 
that and it works. Far more obvious what's going on now.

            writeRegistryKeys(key);
