Application not running

[vijayB]

Hi All,

I have created a sample application in vb.net 2k3. I am accessing and creating registry entries from application. It works fine if I am running that aaplication from Admin account. But if I switched to restricted user account, it is not running.

Please help me to solve this problem.

Thanks.

That is just the security model doing its job.

Where in the registry are you trying to access?
I *think* from moderatly privliged user accounts, you can add things to the current user section or maybe under the software section of current machine.
If you're on a no-privliged account, you shouldn't be using the registry to begin with.

I am writting an application, through which I am accessing "HKLM/software/<MySubKey>". If I run this application using admin privileges, it works, but not the case with normal user.

Its good to know that your application is working as it should. Think of the security risk should any user be able to alter the registry keys. Nice work to avoid that design flaw.
