"Requested Registry Access Not Allowed"

[iKhaosmaster]

Ok I try to create a new project in Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition and is says "Requested Registry Access Not Allowed". I have tried everything. I edited the permissions in safe mode, that didn't help. I tried some bat file. I googled it and tried everything. I tried running as administrator and that didn't help. Please help me.

If your using Vista, try uninstall it and install as administrator.

 

I know you said you did re-install but I dunno if you did it as administrator.

 

And here is another fix that some person had.

 

I came across the exact same issue last week. I don't think it's a common bug.

 

As for solution, I'm going to assume your happy amending registry perms if not let me know and I'll provide more details, I ended up forcing permissions on the whole of the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT key. I'm not 100% that was the best move, it would have been better to amend each key individually and leave the ones that are fine as they are, but I quickly grew bored of that. So I made administrators group owner of the HKEY_CLASSES_KEY, with "replace owner on subcontainers on objects" ticked. Then I set the permissions to Administrators full access, System full access, CREATOR OWNER full access and Users Read access. Always with "This key and subkeys" selected, and then applied changes with "Replace all inheritable permissions" ticked.

 

Like I said, that's my fix, not an MS recommended fix, and I suspect I may come across problems later, but Visual Studio is up and running, and theres no other problems with the PC.

 

Needless to say, back up your registry before hand

 

A far more ornate solution would be to create a script to amend perms only on the effected keys.
