Remarks
QueryRTRegString() searches within the Registry under following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
\\Software
\\ComputerAssociates
\\CA-Visual Objects Applications
\\cSubkey
Or:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
\\Software
\\ComputerAssociates
\\CA-Visual Objects Applications

QueryRTRegInt() tries to read from the HKEY_CURRENT_USER first. When the key is not found under HKEY_CURRENT_USER then it tries to read from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
