[Plib-devel] joystick OEMName fix for Windows XP/Vista

[Reagan T. <tho...@gm...>]

It seems that Microsoft no longer (Vista and maybe XP) places the
joystick OEMName in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, causing "getOEMProductName" to
fail. Instead, the joystick name can be found in HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

The attached patch has been tested on Windows XP and Windows Vista
with "JS_demo.exe" from the FlightGear project. If it fails to read
the value from HKLM, it attempts to read it from HKCU. I do not have
access to Win2k or 9x versions for testing.

Thanks.
