           Summary: Registry: invalid UTF-8 sequence
           Product: D
           Version: 1.020
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: Phobos
        AssignedTo: bugzilla@digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: keystuffs@netscape.net


I get this error when I use the function value_EXPAND_SZ:
  std.stdio.writefln(key.getValue("").value_EXPAND_SZ());

This is caused because the value returned is 2 characters too long.

The function value_EXPAND_SZ use the function ExpandEnvironmentStringsA. In the documentation found here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724265.aspx, this function return the string length, plus terminating null character, plus one.

This means that the variable "newValue" returned by value_EXPAND_SZ contains 2 extra characters.

To resolve the bug, I changed the last line by:
  return newValue[0 .. newValue.length - 2];
