Windows 7 and registry

[alexandros]

Hello,
i want to add a key in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MYAPPLICATION
under windows 7 !
Unfortunately , i cannot do this ? How am i going to add info in the registry using Windows 7 without being an administrator ? Even with administrator rights it does not add a thing !

Thanks !

You could change the UAC by...

By clicking on Project> <"your project name"> Properties... > View Windows Settings > and change this line

<requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker" uiAccess="false" />

to

<requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" />

Good Luck

If you are writing to HKEY_CURRENT_USER then you should not need admin permissions or need to bother with UAC etc. So you must just be not writing the code correctly that is supposed to create/modify this registry key. Show us the code you are using and I'm sure someone will be able to point out where the problem is.
