Describe the bug

Exact same Probleme here, When scanning Uplay Titles.

I looked at the Uplay Importer.

on my System Uplay is installed.

class Uplay static isInstalled():

This is looking for a Uplay Installation by checking the Key for Uninstaller.

key: '\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uninstall\\Uplay',

This REG Key dosen´t exists on my Machine, although Uplay is installed.

It should throw the Error "Could not check if Uplay is installed." but it dosen´t.

class Uplay getUplayPath():

This iterates throu Elemets to find the install Path. key: '\\SOFTWARE\\Ubisoft\\Launcher', In none of the values or childs is the path to the Launcher (on my Machine)

@randybruder Can you check your registry for the Keys and look if they exists, please?

Like @vgarcia007 said, this is related to finding the Uplay path from the registry. However, I don't think it's from isInstalled, as that does not access .value of anything. It's more likely from getUplayPath, when looping through registry items to check the value of InstallDir. It could also be coming from _processRegKey, or resolveConfigPath, the two other functions that check .value of something.

It appears that when looking through the registry, if any registry item does not have a value, it would cause this error to occur.
