RegCreateKeyEx failed in Vista
-
Hi all I am facing a strange issue. I call RegCreateKeyEx to create a key in the Vista registry , but it fails . Could any one please help me find out what I am missing ...? HKEY hk=NULL; char tmp_Path[256] = "Software\\Company\\PreferredNos\\no_device"; dwResult = RegCreateKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, tmp_Path, 0, NULL, REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE, KEY_ALL_ACCESS, NULL, &hk, NULL) ; if(hk!=NULL) RegCloseKey(hk); if ( dwResult != ERROR_SUCCESS ) { SpiDebug ((DBG_INFO , _T("TSP"), _T(" RegCreateKeyExFAILED"))) }

Did you check the return value?

Straight from the docs: If the function fails, the return value is a nonzero error code defined in Winerror.h. You can use the FormatMessage function with the FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM flag to get a generic description of the error.

KEY_ALL_ACCESS
Never do that - only request the access levels that you really need. Peace!
