Remarks
This property returns the registry root for the application. Typically this is HKLM\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\<version> but this can change based on any alternate root that the shell was initialized with.
The key that is returned is a read-only key and cannot be modified. Changes to this key should only be made by the VSPackage installer.
You should close and dispose this key when you are finished using it. You can reliably accomplish this by using this key with the “using” syntax in C#:
using(RegistryKey k = p.ApplicationRegistryRoot) {
// define k
}
Here, k is disposed when the using clause terminates.
