Description
After installing the latest AutoIt version (3.3.10.2) I noticed it. I'm not sure about the older versions.
I noticed it when I was not able to delete an AV leftover service that was still running.
I created a registry key, removed Full Access but left Read Access for all the groups:
$ret = RegDelete("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\test"); subkey with only read access for evryone
MsgBox(0, "delte aatest", $ret & "," & @error); $ret = 0 @error= 1
From the function description:
Success: 1.
Special: 0 if the key/value does not exist.
Failure: 2 if error deleting key/value and sets the @error flag to non-zero.
It means the return value says the key doesn't exist.
In short instead of 2 it returns 0.
