The output of reg.exe or something else may be a bit different. This patch improves the parsing code to be more robust.I seem to remember that you can't rely on reg.exe being available on Windows. The Microsoft support pages talk about using regedit.exe instead (which is quite more cumbersome).
I successfully ran it on at least Windows XP and Vista. On Vista, it was present on a quite fresh system (Visual Studio not yet installed). So I'm quite confident that it's likely to be there. Do you have a reference? I searched msdn and was not able to immediately find the recommendation you're referring to.
