Package configuration - registry entry problems

I want to access a registry entry in a package configuration but am having problems. I am looking for some example values for the "Registry Entry" field in the Package Configuration Wizard.

The test is a simple one, fill a variable with a registry value and present it in message box. I have tried a number of different values but can't seem to get the right one. Here are somethat I tried:

Software\\MyCompany\\ImportExport\\ServerName\\Value
Software\\MyCompany\\ImportExport\\ServerName

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\MyCompany\\ImportExport\\ServerName
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\MyCompany\\ImportExport\\ServerName\\Value


Software\MyCompany\ImportExport\ServerName\Value
Software\MyCompany\ImportExport\ServerName

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\MyCompany\ImportExport\ServerName
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\MyCompany\ImportExport\ServerName\Value


HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MyCompany\ImportExport\ServerName\Value
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MyCompany\ImportExport\ServerName

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MyCompany\ImportExport
Software\MyCompany\ImportExport

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\MyCompany\\ImportExport
Software\\MyCompany\\ImportExport

Sorry. I still cannot read the registry entry.

In the registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MyCompany\MyPackageConfiguration

then I have a string value called:

MyParameter1

and the value data is set to:

MyTestValue

I want to see MyTestValue. What do I put in the Package Configuration Wizard text box? These did not work:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MyCompany\MyPackageConfiguration\MyParameter1\Value

HKCU\Software\MyCompany\MyPackageConfiguration\MyParameter1\Value

\Software\MyCompany\MyPackageConfiguration\MyParameter1\Value

Software\MyCompany\MyPackageConfiguration\MyParameter1\Value

Software\MyCompany\MyPackageConfiguration\MyParameter1

\Software\MyCompany\MyPackageConfiguration\MyParameter1

HKCU\Software\MyCompany\MyPackageConfiguration\MyParameter1

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MyCompany\MyPackageConfiguration\MyParameter1
