This adds an extra parameter to most of the post/windows/registry methods called 'view' that specifies if a registry key should be accessed as a native process, 32-bit or 64-bit. Support is added to both the Meterpreter and command-line backends. For the command backend, a lot of boilerplate is removed from each method in favor of a few shared commands. There is an error hash that never gets used, so I removed it as well. This passes the post/test/registry module with meterpreter, but fails the command line backend. However, it fails in the same way without these changes (tested on Windows 8), so I suspect that the command line session was already not working well, at least with newer versions of Windows. I might look into figuring out how to fix that, but it looks pretty fragile to me, parsing for english phrases in the output.

Installing
Generally, you should use the free installer which contains all dependencies and will get you up and running with a few clicks. See the Dev Environment Setup if you'd like to deal with dependencies on your own.
Using Metasploit
Metasploit can do all sorts of things. The first thing you'll want to do
is start msfconsole, but after that, you'll probably be best served by
reading Metasploit Unleashed, the great community
resources, or the wiki.
