Thanks guy's. Unfortunately exists wouldn't work in my case as I needed to check whether an instance exists which is in the multi value. I managed to resolve it by checking whether the specific service exists.
I agree with Neil the docs are confusing and the intellisense is misleading as that mentions REG_MULTI_SZ specifically.
