At runtime, I need to retrieve a registry value that is not located under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings, so GetSetting
isn't
going to do the trick. I've found the CRegKey Class and its methods
(specifically QueryStringValue), but I'm missing the code to alias the
function in my app. Little help?

This class is written in C++
http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/w-p/system/registry/article.php/c2889/

But there are quite a few VB6 replacements out there...
http://www.vbaccelerator.com/home/VB/Code/Libraries/Registry_and_Ini_Files/Complete_Registry_Control/article.asp

"RegSettings" at http://vb.mvps.org/samples/

And while not a specific 'class' has a lot of useful routines for
stealing...
http://vbnet.mvps.org/index.html?code/reg/index.html

Also take a look at the source code for Setup1 (likely already on your HD).
