CreateSNARegEntry

The CreateSNARegEntry function creates the necessary entries for an instance in the SOFTWARE\Microsoft registry tree. If the product is not already in the registry, it creates an entry for the product. It then creates an entry for the particular instance of the product and for the NetRules key under that entry. This function leaves open handles to all the important subkeys for further use.
