advapi32.dll -> RegCreateKeyExA & Normal user

[=?Utf-8?B?SmNr?=]

I am trying to access the registry from a normal user by the following code
.... but failed!! However, it works under admin user logon.

I think I need to grant some access right to the normal user, but I don't
know how! Can anyone give me a hand please?

Many Thanks!! ^_^

nRet = RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, Section, 0&, KEY_ALL_ACCESS, hKey)
If nRet = ERROR_SUCCESS Then
nRet = RegQueryValueEx(hKey, key, 0&, nType, ByVal Buffer, nBytes)
End If

Jck,

Your code is not dotNet but windows.

Have a look at the dotNet registry code.
