Guest jim.e.dimoni@bank.of.nigeria.com Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 I tried to install software and I rcvd an error that it could not create a registry key in HKEY_USERS I opened REGEDIT and confirmed that I can't create a key here. I can create a key in any other HKEY_... folder. I have an ADMIN user and my user which is also an admin account. XP SP2 with all updates. what do you think is wrong now?? thx
Guest John John Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Re: can't create registry key Verify that you have necessary permissions on the HKU Root key. Verify that the permission are propagated from the root key to child objects.

Guest jim.e.dimoni@bank.of.nigeria.com Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Re: can't create registry key admin and system is already set to full control. restricted and everyone is set to read I can create a key in a folder under HKEY_USERS but not in HKEY_USERS is this normal as I can't do it on another computer either? Why would a software install want to write that high a level key if it can't be done.
