| Guest | Vista's registry virtualization Hi, I have different accounts (administrator, users and power user), so I can not write into my Registry (HKLM) in the user mode. And I don't want to write into HKCUser beacause is not accessible by other account. I don't want to "Run as administator", but I want to write in the registry in the zone accessible by the user accounts (like administrator or another users). What is the location shared by all account ? Best Regards -- OS & Driver Product Engineer |

| Guest | Re: Vista's registry virtualization Hello, There is not an area of the registry that is writable by all accounts. If you require this, you will need to configure this manually: run regedit and create a registry key inside of HKLM and change the permissions on this key so that the users group has write access (right-click it and click permissions). -- - JB Windows Vista Support Faq http://www.jimmah.com/vista/ |

| Guest | Re: Vista's registry virtualization Any installer runs with Admin privileges, so you can write to HKLM. The simple rules are : Write to HKLM at install Read from HKLM at runtime Read/Write to HKCU at runtime As for your Q, "can you do this with installshield". I am sure you can, but its been awhile since I have created an installer with install shield. You may need to create your own custom action.
