You need to show the code you are using to get the key, and the exact error message or return code.

lfLog.DebugMsgStart(" Retrieving Connection String");

csKey = "SOFTWARE\\Kimberly-Clark\\Knowledge Management";
if ( !rReg.GetSZValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,csKey, csConnectionStringReference, csConnectionString))
{
// could not get program name
lfLog.DebugMsgEnd("FAILED");
csMsg.Format("Could not get the ConnectionString from Registry Key = '%s', Value = '%s'", csKey, csConnectionStringReference);
elLog.ErrorMsg(csMsg);
lfLog.ErrorMsg(csMsg);

  // log the message code
  mclLog.ErrorMsg( 0, "ConnectionString");
  goto exit30;

}
lfLog.DebugMsgEnd("SUCCESS");

and i am having the values in registry under the path mentioned in the code

Very interesting, but what is happening when you run this code? What does rReg.GetSZValue return and where is the class definition for it? What is contained in csConnectionStringReference and csConnectionString? What system calls are being used and if they fail what is returned by GetLastError()?

code compilation is success an now i am trying to install and run the service in the production server . rReg.GetSZValue success if it successfully fetch the value from regtry path or else failed ,now it is returning fail in log . csConnectionStringReference contained the key name "TeamsConncetionstring" and this value is also ftched from the registry itself. csConnectionString should be stored with the value of the key "TeamsConncetionstring". GetLastError() returning 0 here . And if any error even will log with the error details which i have reported earlier.

I'm sorry but that tells us nothing about what is happening. You need to use your debugger to step through the code and see the exact status values that you are receiving when you try to read this value from the registry. You still have not shown the code that does to do the actual call to get the value from the registry, only rReg.GetSZValue.
