RegistryView is available only on .NET 4. You might want to consider allowing your program to run as a 64-bit process so no redirection takes place. VS2010 has new behavior, it forces apps to run in 32-bit mode on new projects. Project + Properties, Build tab, change Platform target to AnyCPU.

You need to open the key using RegistryView.Registry64. You specify this in the OpenBaseKey method so you'll need to rejig your code a little.
