[Development] qt installer - user register access

[Richard Gerd Kuesters]

Thank you Jenssen!

I got all the way through this, but my problem is a little more 
specific. Well, let's see if I can explain myself a little better.

We develop Autodesk plugins for our clients, mostly for their AutoCAD 
suite. So, we need to detect if there's a installation present in the 
machine and it's version, since we provide the facility to install for 
more then one instance of the program (let's say, versions 2011, 2012, 
2013, etc).

So, my routine is quite simple: I search for 
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD" in the registry tree and 
need to get its children directories, as a list or something, like 
"R18.1", "R19.0", etc.

I'm sending a screenshot attached. I hope there's a way to retrieve that 
information :)


Best regards,
Richard.
