Key Change Script

The game and the three expansions means that 4 keys are needed. This can be solved by putting the keys in LANCommander comma separated. This script will split them, with the order as "<BaseKey>,<SoulStormKey>,<WinterAssaultKey>,<DarkCrusadeKey>".

#$Key = $AllocatedKey
#
#$Key = $Key.Replace("-", "")
#
#$BaseKey, $SoulStormKey, $WinterAssaultKey, $DarkCrusadeKey = $Key -Split ',',4
#
# Non-destructively creates path in registry
