Registry in c++

I am trying to Set the value of a reg key, using this code.
char * x = "C:\\Program Files\\BUV222.exe"; RegSetValueEx(hkey, TEXT("Sys31"), 0, REG_SZ,x, 28); But I am getting this error when I compile: main.cpp(8) : error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'char [28]' to 'const unsigned char *' Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast help please

Ok, I fixed that problem, but now I have another problem. I want to set the reg key to "C:\\Program Files\\BUV222.exe", but it is just not being created. It makes a folder and stuff, but it will not make the key. Tell me what I am doing wrong.
#include <windows.h> int main() { HKEY hkey; DWORD dwDisposition; DWORD dwType, dwSize; char * x = "C:\\Program Files\\BUV222.exe"; RegCreateKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, TEXT("Software\\My Company\\My Application"), 0, NULL, 0, 0, NULL, &hkey, &dwDisposition); RegCreateKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, TEXT("Software\\My Company\\My Application"), 0, NULL, 0, 0, NULL, &hkey, &dwDisposition); dwType = REG_DWORD; dwSize = sizeof(DWORD); x = TEXT("C:\\Program Files\\BUV222.exe"); RegSetValueEx(hkey,"Sys31", 0, REG_SZ,(PBYTE) &x, sizeof(DWORD)); RegCloseKey(hkey); return 0; }

check your return values. That will help you find out where it gets off the right track.
