Hey folks, new to NSIS here.... I've been banging my head against the wall trying to figure out why this isn't working. I have a variable defined for my GUID:

code:
Var /GLOBAL CLSID

StrCpy $CLSID "\{1368ABFA-B1AB-49DB-9CB8-2C231D54B1BF\}"

Writing the variable into a registry value data works great:

code:
WriteRegStr HKCR "Something.Otherthing\CLSID" "" "$CLSID"

Writing the variable as a registry key doesn't work at all:

code:
WriteRegStr HKCR "CLSID\$CLSID" "" "GPLASCustomTools.LASCustomToolsFunctionFactory"

Is it the curly brackets? I've tried using escape characters but it doesn't help. What am I missing?
