You are not taking into account that HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE has security
privileges assigned to it.  Not all users have access to modify the data
under that key.  Usually administrator rights are required to do that.

Which version of BCB are you using?  If BCB5 or BCB6, then TRegistry has an
Access property that you should be assigning to KEY_WRITE access before
opening the key.  By default, the Access property is set to KEY_ALL_ACCESS,
which is restricted to admin users.

> MyReg->OpenKey("Software\\TheKey");

You are not checking to see whether OpenKey() succeeds or fails.
