- RegGetValue with flags = RRF_RT_REG_SZ|RRF_RT_REG_EXPAND_SZ
  fails in Windows 7 with an "invalid parameter" error.
  Fix by using RRF_RT_REG_SZ alone.

Note: This is not a regression as in no released version did the
service support expandable strings (ones with embedded %FOO%) in
the registry. However, the GUI does expand such strings. The two
can be made consistent by explicitly expanding the strings -- that
is left for a future patch.

Patch matches the problem discussed in the mail thread here and on
stackoverflow (RRF_RT_REG_SZ|RRF_RT_REG_EXPAND_SZ broken on Win7),
cross compiled on ubuntu 16.04, installed & tested on Win7/64, and 
works again :-)

Thanks.

Your patch has been applied to the master and release/2.4 branch.
