not allowed to access the registry of windows vista


Hello

we creating a web application in ASP .net 2.0. we are trying to read font
file path from registry as below

Microsoft.Win32 .RegistryKey registryKeyPare n
registryKeyChil d = registryKeyPare nt.OpenSubKey(s ubKey);

it's running in windows xp. but when we try to run this application in
windows vista
it's throwing an error. reason is that as a restricted user, the application
is not allowed to access the registry.

is there any way that the application can allowed to the restricted user to
access the registry of window vista in .net 2.0.

Thanks
Anjana

Yes, that would be correct.

I was at a Vista Security for Developers seminar hosted by Microsoft a
couple of months ago, and they mentioned that they have deliberately made it
very difficult for apps to access the HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE hive - if you're
trying to do that, then you will need to elevate the privileges of the

If you develop for others, you probably have multiple versions of Access installed so you can edit and create MDEs for clients in different versions. This works fine under Windows XP, even with Access 2007 installed. It does *not* work under Windows Vista Ultimate.

Is it possible to run Access 97 on Windows Vista? I have installed Access 97 and Access 2000, when I run Access 2000, then try to open Access 97 it says it cant find the windows registry entries? Re-Installing Access 97 seems to fix it until I open Access 2000 again. I have run both Access 97 and Access 2000 on all previous versions of windows without any problems. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
