Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to create / edit a binary value within the windows registry so far I have this: 

  Dim data As Byte() = New Byte() {&H48, 96}
        Microsoft.Win32.Registry.SetValue("hkey_local_machine\hardware\description\system\bios", "SystemProductName2", data, Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind.Binary)

However, I want to set a product name say "Acer Stuff" to the registry and what is happening it will not print the characters. I'm getting numbers. Any suggestions? I've searched for a few hours to get this done and I'm having a difficult time. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
