I am trying to install and run React Native on Windows UWP using C++. The rest of the process works fine but in the end build fails with the error: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value.
I am using Visual Studio 2022, Node.JS version v18.15.0, Windows 10 with toolset version v143, and SDK 10.0.22621.0.
The following script command is used to install the dependencies;
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope Process -Force; iex (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://aka.ms/rnw-vs2022-deps.ps1');
The following commands successfully ran without errors when creating the UWP React Native project.
- npx react-native init testproject4 --template react-native@^0.71.0
- cd testproject4
- npx react-native-windows-init --overwrite
- npx react-native autolink-windows
Then running the project in a debug or without debugging mode from the VS2022 fails at the end after throwing the two errors. Both x86 and 64bit are tried.
The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value.
Error MSB3073 The command "npx react-native autolink-windows --check --sln [tag:"windows\testproject4.sln" --proj "windows\testproject4\testproject4.vcxproj"" exited with code -1. testproject4 C:\tmp\testproject4\node_modules\react-native-windows\PropertySheets\Autolink.targets 17
When I run the following command from the PowerShell;
- npx react-native run-windows
It throws the following errors;
ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value.

Is there a way to fix this issue?
