Should we have a putOrCreateValue method?

Error: registry path does not exist

Got this error when I tried to put key value on ..\\Policies\\System, because Policies folder is empty. Is there a way to check if the folder/path existed and if no, create it?

for now you'll have to list it before to check. Might implement this in the future

@M1cr0M1nd following our discussion the other day I checked and we are not lazily creating new paths in the registry if they are missing. Also, the underlying vbs registry api does not provide a flag or some other way to do this lazily and I don't think it make sense to implement this in our VBS layer of JS layer as default behavior of putValue.

We might consider have a separate function for this, eg: putOrCreateValue or something along these lines, but we should really see if there's a demand for this at all...
