This key?
/proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/VisualStudio/8.0

I could not reproduce this. Please provide output of:

$ uname -rs
$ cd /proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft
$ stat VisualStudio/8.0
$ ls -la VisualStudio/8.0

If 'ls' output is actually empty, retry with Cygwin shell running as 
administrator.
(ls /proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SAM/SAM should work then).

Please note that the Express editions of Visual Studio put some subkeys 
to a different location:
/proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/VCExpress/...
A configuration script expecting Express edition might not work with a 
regular edition and vice versa.

Regards,
Christian
