Permission to registry key

When I try:
Set PDFForm = CreateObject("AFormAut.App")
I get this error:
The machine-default permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
{7CD069A1-50AA-11D1-B8F0-00A0C9259304}
and APPID Unavailable to the user NT AUTHORITY\IUSR SID (S-1-5-17) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.
But in Component Services there is no an object with such GUID. How can I open permission to registry key?

What version and product is in use?
Is this on a normal workstation with a logged in user running the app, and Acrobat visible to the user?

Itunes wont install, access to registry key denied. key listed in message

I tried opening regedit and changing the permissions to allow access, went to dozens of other forums, and nothing has worked so far. Anyone know how to fix this?
I get about 2 bars into the installation, right after it says copying new files.
then it says:
Could not open registry key:
hkeylocalmachine\software\classes\interface\{915DA835-02FE-4953-92FA-624BDF5D85ab}\proxys tubclsid
Please check to see if you have permission to access these files.
I should have permission i'm the owner account and the only account on it. I can install any other program fine.
Please help me with this, I would really appreciate it.

I figured it out. I just ran the installer after deleting each registry key it said i didn't have access to (about 6) and then it ran through like a clean install and rewrote the registry files

Unable to change registry key permissions using group policy

In order to fix a problem with a piece of software not saving it's settings I need to change the permission on a registry key of our client machines.
I've setup a GPO and in Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Registry specified the registry key I want to change the permission on, added our staff security group and given the full control over that key.
The permission are not being changed and when I run rsop I'm getting the following error:
The policy engine did not attempt to configure the setting. For more information see %windir%\security\logs\winlogon.log on the target machine.
I've looked in the winlogon.log file and can see nothing meaningful that relates to this GPO. I set the logging to be verbose and this doesn't include any additional information. There appears to be nothing meaningful in the event logs on the
local machine.
The OS is Windows 7 SP1
Anybody shed any light why the policy wouldn't be applying the permissions to the registry key?

Hi,
Is this client running Windows 7 64bit? If so, this problem is expected since the Wow6432Node key is only recognizable in 64bit applications.
Security Client Side extension is a 32 bit application and therefore cannot see the key to change permissions. In this situation, you need to change permission in HKLM/Software/[appname]. For more information, please refer to
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896459
If it is Windows 7 32bit, this is a GPO not apply issue. Please check if the following registry keys exist on the Windows 7 client:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SMART Technologies
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SMART Technologies Inc.
If so, please help collect the following information:
1.
Did this problem only occur on one Windows 7 client or occur on all Windows 7clients?
2.
What’s the Operating System on the DC?
3.
Enable debug logging for the Net Logon service. Reproduce the problem and check if there is any relevant error.

Unable to write to registry key for Acrobat XI - error 1406

Hi all,
I have a problem regarding the installation of Adobe Acrobat XI 11.0.07 on an ASUS laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium OS.
In short, I am unable to complete the installation of Adobe Acrobat XI on this machine because Acrobat is not able to write the value to the registry key situated here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE --> SOFTWARE --> Microsoft --> Internet Explorer --> Toolbar.
I tried to find solutions on the internet, and have found one webpage at the Adobe Forums, which is this one: Error 1406.Could not write value Adobe ARM - and it was not very helpful, since the person asking solved his problem, but did not tell how he did. So, I found this page at Acrobat Help, called Error 1402 | Error 1406 | Acrobat, Reader where I tried the different solutions, but so far none of these have worked. What I did was to remove all previous versions of Adobe Acrobat, Reader, Air and so on. In fact, I deleted all software from Adobe in case one of these softwares were to blame, but it has not worked. But before I deleted all this software, I deleted Acrobat and Reader several times, but as you probably already have found out, it did not work. As this did not work, I tried the next solution at Acrobat Help, which was to "Set permissions to their defaults in the registry". I followed the solution completely and did everything it said, but it has not worked. As a note, I have to say that the registry key type I have problems with is called "Locked", the type is REG_DWORD and the data value is (0). Does this have anything to do with it? I am not too familiar with editing the registry. Though, I did try to change the value to (1) and updating the registry, but it did not work...
More information: nevertheless if I install the complete version of Adobe Acrobat XI or the typical installation, the same error comes up: error 1406. And I did scan my system with my antivirus software, called Bullguard, to see if there were any viruses; there were none. I also closed my antivirus software and diabled the firewall of Bullguard, but that was not succesful either, and I did a scan of my system using cmd as an administrator (sfc /scannow), and the program found some errors it could not fix. As far as I can see, it found three .dll files with errors. I have the document called sfcdetails.txt if that would be any helpful to you.
Besides that, I am not sure what to do. I did pay for Adobe Acrobat the 23rd of January, 2015, and I have not managed to make it work properly yet, and I cannot update the software, since I have this problem with the registry. I am able to use the software for what I had to use it for until now, but I would like to be able to use it for everything it stands for and update it to prevent any lapse in security.
Thank you. I hope you have any ideas for my problem and will be able to help me!
Best regards,
Mads

Hi Rahul,
Thank you for your answer. Though, it did not solve my problem! I did what you said: I tried using the Adobe Acrobat cleaner tool, and afterwards, I restarted my computer. After this, I downloaded the program from your link and I tried to install the program, but I did not succeed, because the same error came up, which is this:
Error 1406. Could not write value {47833539-D0C5-4125-9FA8-0819E2EAAC93} to key \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar.
With this error, the only options are to abort, retry or ignore the install, but none of these solves the issue, I am afraid.
But what I think it is all about is how to gain access to the registry. I followed the tutorial, I mentioned above, but I were not able to solve it... I gained administrator access to the registry, I made the current administrator account the owner of the key (the current administrator is not the original administrator of the computer, since I changed this long time ago), and I made the permissions correctly, I guess. I followed the tutorial, anyhow. Though, what confuses me, is that when pressing the button, called "Advanced", and entering the menu called "Advanced security settings for Toolbar" (I have the Danish version of Windows, excuse me if I did not translate it correctly), I see many persmission posts, two of which have the name of the current administrator account. One of these have full control, the persmissions from this are not inherited and they are used on "this key and underkeys". The second only has a special permission, it is inherited from "MACHINE\SOFTWARE\..." and it is used only on this key. How to change this, I am not sure. But I do not suspect that there should be two permissions for the same administrator account? Do you know if this is right?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Mads

Exchange BPA Errors (Exchange server is a virtual machine but the additional tools are not installed and The 'Services' string type value located in 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ExchangeServer\v14\Setup\Services' registry key is missing)

Hi,
I am running BPA on My Exchange 2010 VM (Server 2008 R2 VM on Hyper-V) and get the following errors:
The 'Services' string type value located in 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ExchangeServer\v14\Setup\Services' registry key is missing or inaccessible. The Microsoft Exchange Information Store service won't start. As a result, all services that depend
on this service won't be able to start
Exchange server [Exchange Server FQDN] is a virtual machine but the additional tools are not installed. This configuration is not supported. Install Virtual Machine Additions for this guest.
Problem is that, for the first, that Key exists and the service is actually running fine. And for the second my VM tools are already installed.
Hopefully someone out there has had the same issue and can assist.
Pete

Hi Pete,
For the first error message, please try the following steps:
Make sure the Information Store service is in Starting status,
Automatic startup type and works well, as a test we can try to
restart the Infroamtion Store service and verify the service works well.
Start
Registry Editor, find the registry key “Services” under “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ExchangeServer\v14\Setup”, its value is “C:\Program
files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\v14”(default install location), please check your registry, make sure the key “Services” exist and value is the Exchange Server install location and the
location is accessible;
Start
Registry Editor, and locate the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\Setup
Use the
Permission option under the Security tab to check the permission setting on this key. Make sure
System is in the list with Full Control permissions if the service account is Local System. If you are not using Local System as the service account, check the existence of the corresponding account in the list and ensure that
it has Full Control permissions. Please refer to this article:
Title: Exchange Store Does Not Start: Errors 7024, 1026, 9542, and 5000
Link:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/285116
Start
ADSI Edit, and then browse to the following location:
Domain.com/Configuration/Services/Microsoft Exchange/Org/Administrative Groups/AdminGroup/Servers/Server Name
Right-click the
server name, and then click Properties.
Click the
Security tab, make sure this own server’s server object have
full control permission on its own server.
If not or the object is missing, please modify the permission or click
Add, locate the computer account for the Exchange Server computer, add it to the Permissions list with full control.
Click OK, and then close ADSI Edit.
Use
Active Directory Users and Computers to add the current affected
Exchange Server computer account to the Exchange Servers(previous version should be “Exchange Domain Servers”) group in the
Microsoft Exchange Security Groups( or Users) OU. Refer to this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297295.
Restart the Exchange Server computer, then rerun the ExBPA.
For the second error message, Microsoft don’t recommend to install Exchange Server on virtual machine without additional tools, so the error message occurs. We can just ignore
this message, it will not affect the Exchange servers.

Take ownership of a registry key, and change permissions

Hello,
I am writing a powershell script to configure a W2008-R2 Server. In one of the steps, I need to take ownership of an existing registry key, and then give full control permissions to the administrators.
I have done this:
$acl = Get-Acl $key
$me = [System.Security.Principal.NTAccount]"$env:userdomain\$env:username"
$acl.SetOwner($me)
$person = [System.Security.Principal.NTAccount]"Administrators"
$access = [System.Security.AccessControl.RegistryRights]"FullControl"
$inheritance = [System.Security.AccessControl.InheritanceFlags]"None"
$propagation = [System.Security.AccessControl.PropagationFlags]"None"
$type = [System.Security.AccessControl.AccessControlType]"Allow"
$rule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.RegistryAccessRule($person,$access,$inheritance,$propagation,$type)
$acl.AddAccessRule($rule)
Set-Acl $key $acl
But it fails in "set-acl" command, with the message "Set-Acl : Requested registry access is not allowed."
Any ideas of how to do this? or if it is even possible?
Thank you!

Here is the code to take ownership of a registry key. You first need to set the SeTakeOwnership permission on your process
The enable-privilege function is taken from a posting by Lee Holmes (http://www.leeholmes.com/blog/2010/09/24/adjusting-token-privileges-in-powershell/), but
I've been meaning to get around to tidy it up a bit for my purposes. Perhaps this thread is the motivation I need to do this. I should also note that the PowerShell Community Extensions has cmdlets to work with tokens already.
I also never tested whether you can do the PowerShell native methods of get-acl set-acl if you set the token. I don't have time to play with that now, but if you want to try it and let us know if it works that would be great. The opensubkey method
I'm using I've documented here for changing permissions when you don't have permissions: http://powertoe.wordpress.com/2010/08/28/controlling-registry-acl-permissions-with-powershell/

Get "Invalid root in registry key" when call RegWrite function on Wow6432Node

My environment is Windows 2008 R2. I have the local administrator permission and the UAC is turned off.
There is a 32bit application installed on the server and I need to update its registry key value "AuditTime" under this node
HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Myapplication
I simply run this just two line vbscript
Set Wshell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Wshell.RegWrite "HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Myapplication\AuditTime",Now(),"REG_SZ"
But I got error as following:
Invalid root in registry key "HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Myapplication\AuditTime"
Then I updated the script to perform a little test. The script is like this
Set Wshell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Wshell.RegWrite "HKLM\Software\Myapplication2\AuditTime",Now(),"REG_SZ"
Wshell.RegWrite "HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Myapplication\AuditTime",Now(),"REG_SZ"
The first RegWrite is successfully run and I got the value written as expected however the second RegWrite failed again with the same error.
So it is clear nothing to do with permission since I have full access. I can create the values under both hive in Regedit.exe.
A little further testing shows the Invalid root error just showing when I tried to update valued under HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node hive.
Any suggestion?

On Windows Server 2008R2 the VBScript works with NO errors and creates the key as expected.
PS C:\scripts> .\regtest.vbs
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.8
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
PS C:\scripts> dir HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\Myapplication*
Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node
SKC VC Name Property
0 1 Myapplication32 {AuditTime}
0 1 Myapplication6432 {AuditTime}
PS C:\scripts> dir HKLM:\Software\My*

SKC VC Name Property
0 1 Myapplication32 {AuditTime}
0 1 Myapplication6432 {AuditTime}
PS C:\scripts> [environment]::Is64BitProcess
False
The vbscript used for both keys is as follows:
Set Wshell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Wshell.RegWrite "HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Myapplication32\AuditTime",Now(),"REG_SZ"
Run from either system it creates a shared key under WoW6432Node on both systems. When created from the 32 bit system the key also shows up under HKLM:\Software. It does not show on the 64 bit system under HKLM:\Software. Youust explicitly
crate the keys under that key. 64 bit process look at both. 32 bit processes only see HKLM:\Software which is why we create the shared keys under WoW6432. The 32 bit systems will work as they always have but 64 bit process MUST look under
WoW6332Node if it wants to see a 32 bit process registry settings. We can als sync the keys if needed.
You do not need to create two sets of keys for one process. The system can do this for you.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

App Builder Installer Build Registry Keys no longer created in Vista.

This board has been a great resource for answers...thank you all for your help.
Last week (7/31/09), an automatic MS Windows Vista Home Premium
upgrade was performed on my development PC. After the upgrade, I
used AppBuilder to build the final version of my application, which writes
3 string keys to the Window's registry. The Installer build completed successfully,
however, when I run setup.exe, I received an OS error stating that I don't
have permission to update the registry. I have full admin rights AND
User Account Control (UCS) is OFF. This error notification occurred 3
times, once for each registry addition attempt.
The installation was working correctly prior to this Vista update and still works in XP.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Please note that this is VI independent- the registry keys were created through
the AppBuilder 'Installer' tool.
I worry that this problem will manifest itself with all new LV application installations
that have the Vista upgrade.

Does the installation fail only when you try to install on computers that have the Vista update? Or since you have updated your development computer, when you build the installer again the installation will fail on any computer? Have you tried installing it on more than one computer with the Vista update?
Please attach the installer log for when the installation fails.

"Error while registering the Java 2 Runtime Environment registry keys"

"Error while registering the Java 2 Runtime Environment registry keys"
I am getting the above error when trying to install the 1.3 JRE (installed with the 1.3 plug in which I need). As part of my development I have been installing and uninstalling the JRE multiple times. Then, I got the above error when trying to install it, and now it appears to be installed but I cannot uninstall it. When I try to uninstall it, it just remains, and when I try to install it again I get the above error. I have tried cleaning up all javasoft registry entries, but it doesnt seem to have helped. Can anyone help me either completely uninstall the JRE so I can do a clean install or help me get rid of the error above when I install. Is there some registry entries I should be looking at? Anything else? this is quite urgent as I need to test my applet with the plugin installed and not installed - and I currently cant uninstall it. Any ideas?
Thanks for your help

I am getting this same error message when trying to upgrade from 1.3.1_03 to 1.3.1_19.
I have multiple versions of jre's and jdks on my machine.
Anyone else seen this problem or know how to resolve it.

I can not re-install/ update apple iTunes on my HP PC running Win7-64. I get a registry key error when installing and am asked to make sure I have access. IT is a home PC with one user and I have admin priveledges.

When the updater notified me of an iTunes update, I selected the update option. The update failed and killed the version I was running. I have tried for a year to fix the problem without sucess. I can't completely remove all Apple products. I can not install any apple products especially iTunes which is the only one I am interested in.
When I install iTunes now I get a registry key error similar to this:
I am using a machine where I am the only user and am the Admin. I have looked at the security settings on this key and see nothing wrond with it or the parent keys. I tried removing all apple products but ran into similar problems. At this time I still have Bonjour. Mobile Device Support, Software Update, and Application Support installed.

These ones are tricky. But the following instructions are worth a try.
First do a complete uninstall of iTunes and related components (but don't reinstall just yet), as per the following document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
a. Launch regedit (Start >> Search Programs and Files >> type Regedit and open the regedit that comes up.)
b. Access the following Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData \S-1-5-18\Components
c. Perform the following actions
i. Right Click on Components Folder
ii. Select Permissions
iii. Select Full Control and Read Permissions options
iv. Select Advanced Button
v. Select Owner Tab
vi. Select to Change Owner to the Administrators
vii. Check the option “Replace owner on subcontainers and objects”
viii. Select OK when prompted that it may not change all.
ix. Select Apply
x. Select Apply again

Java Plug-in not working with WinXP SP2 Registry Key Missing Error Pop-Up

I have WinXp PRO with SP2 and the Oct 12 Security Update Patch for SP2 loaded and I went to my Control Panel and saw that the JavaRuntime Environment 1.4.2_04 icon was missing and when I went to click the Java Plugin icon to Open it, I got the following message in a Error Pop-Up window:
The system cannot find the registry key specified:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java pPlug-in\1.4.2_04\JavaHome
I then went to Chage Access Program Controls and when I clicked on the Change box for the program, it wanted me to re-install the whole environment.
Prior to doing this, and potentially screwing up my MS winXp environment, I went to the Sun support page for Java Plug-in and I did get the dancing elmo appear as they said I would but I noticed that my environment was MS VM, not Java and that I was out of date and a newer update was avaliable.
The downloads page for the plug-in states clearly that it supports WinXp SP1 and NOT SP2.
SO, my question is, do I need to re-install anything or wait till the whole SP2 issue and java with (BITS) issue gets resolved and just use the MS VM engine during my browsing time? Is there a workaround and what impact will this have on my system? I am not developing Java Apps but am a Power user in Windows who is wondering if applets and general browsing might be easier, faster and more fluid if the Java Runtime was enabled as opposed to the MS VM solution?
Any ideas or thoughts on this very timely issue would be greatly appreciated as I see others have tried to post related issues but none that succinctly combines what I have asked for here in this post.
Thanks from NYC -Phil

did you know that XP SP2 has so many technical problems? try SP1 or contact the WindowsXP Vendor

How to get registry key lastwritetime using batch/powershell

Hello,
I want to get a registry key's LastWriteTime using batch/powershell. These are what i have tried..
1. Launch regedit and manually export the key using the UI, this gives me the lastwritetime, but I need a commandline version of this. regedit /e only exports the key and value data.
2. dir HKLM:\software\mykey
nothing returned
3. Get-ChildItem HKLM:\software\mykey | Select-Object *
nothing returned
4. Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\software\mykey | Select-Object *
LastWriteTime not returned; other values are returned
5. (Get-Item HKLM:\software\mykey).LastWriteTime
Nothing is returned
Is the only way to do this by using pinvoke with RegQueryInfoKey?
Thanks in advance

The
.zip on the repository will still work for version 2. Basically, you'll get a definition for a function called 'Add-RegKeyMember'. You can dot source the provided script, or you can copy the function definition into your own script. You would use it like
this:
# Using Get-Item:
PS> Get-Item HKLM:\SOFTWARE | Add-RegKeyMember | select Name, LastWriteTime, ClassName
# Using Get-ChildItem:
PS> Get-ChildItem HKLM:\SOFTWARE | Add-RegKeyMember | select Name, LastWriteTime, ClassName
# Passing a path:
PS> Add-RegKeyMember HKLM:\SOFTWARE | select Name, LastWriteTime, ClassName
There's also a proxy function for Get-ChildItem that will automatically add the property anytime you use Get-ChildItem (dir, ls, gci) on a registry path. The PSv3 only method I was talking about simply updates the type data to automatically call the function
on any RegistryKey object. You can actually set version 2 up to do that, but it requires an XML file.

When Installing iTunes I get an Error Message About A Registry Key

It gives me this error message:
Could not open key:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\QuickTimePlayerLib.QuickTimePlayerApp\CLSID. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
I can't find that error listed anywhere on the iTunes support site. How can I fix this?

some folks have been having some success with pgfpdwife's technique in the following post:
pgfpdwife: Re: Could not open key HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classic\Quicktime.Quicktime\
note carefully that the technique involves a registry edit. be sure to make a backup of any keys you edit. if you're unfamiliar with your registry or registry editing, head to your XP help and support, do a search on registry, and read through the articles that come up.
There are also some instructions on how to back up registry keys in the following document:
