+ 1 a la respuesta de Wally, pero su solución funciona para .NET 4.0 y superior.
he encontrado otra solución, que también trabaja para .NET 2,0 here

Uso:
string value64 = RegistryWOW6432.GetRegKey64(RegHive.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, @"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion", "RegisteredOrganization");
string value32 = RegistryWOW6432.GetRegKey32(RegHive.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, @"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion", "RegisteredOrganization");
¿Qué programa gestiona las claves de registro en HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ App? ¿Estás tratando de leer claves de registro creadas por otro programa? – wj32
Hola, no, es mi aplicación la que lee la clave, la clave está escrita en el registro por el instalador de Visual Studio 2008. –
