I am new to development and window Any one faced the issue similar to that?

Is there is anything that need to be along with the code.

Thanks & Regards,

Premukar, what version of the chef-client are you using? I’ve tried to make
this failure occur on 11.8.2, and everything works fine for me. If you’re
running Chef 10, or even a version prior to 11.4, I would not expect the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE constant that exists in current Chef releases to be
present in the chef gem.
