This post makes no sense. You don't access the Registry with an installer. You access the Registry by running regedit. Please post back with a better explanation of what is going on. Include the exact text of any error messages. This link will show you what details to include in your next post so we can help you: http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers http://www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!"

Guest Ramesh, MS-MVP Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Re: No Access To Registry Hi, Are you trying to read a registry value or write to it? Which registry location are you trying to read/write to? And what's the error message displayed? -- Regards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] Windows® Troubleshooting http://www.winhelponline.com "davidthefat" <davidthefat@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:FF7A0F86-A321-4212-94B1-E5BF3304C754@microsoft.com...

Guest Newbie Coder Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Re: No Access To Registry David, START | RUN | Type 'regedit' & press ENTER That should get you into the registry .
