Problem with RegOpenKeyEx() in Vista

[Aryan S]

I want to write reg value in HKLM in windows Vista. But RegOpenKeyEx() API is failing. I am using access rights as KEY_READ | KEY_WRITE. Please give some suggestion.

[Frank K]

Hi, "KEY_WRITE" -> have you administration rights? (because HKLM) What is the return value of GetLastError()? Frank

[Aryan S]

Yes, the user has administrative rights. Though the user is not the by default (in built) administrator. GetLastError is returning Access denied.

I never did have a change to read through this, but take a look here http://www.microsoft.com/technet/windowsvista/evaluate/feat/secfeat.mspx#E6B[^] Was suggested by Michael D from the Lounge[^]
