error in
Error conditions that occur before this node runs.
The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.
Standard Error Behavior
Many nodes provide an error in input and an error out output so that the node can respond to and communicate errors that occur while code is running. The value of error in specifies whether an error occurred before the node runs. Most nodes respond to values of error in in a standard, predictable way.
Default: No error
class
Class or object type of the key.
registry view

| Name | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Default | 0 | This node selects the type of key based on the software that is installed. For example, if a 64-bit product is installed, this node creates a 64-bit key. |
| KEY_WOW64_64KEY | 8 | This node creates a 64-bit key. |
| KEY_WOW64_32KEY | 9 | This node creates a 32-bit key. |
