Problem with Registry
I am running Window 7 and have installed an older version of Crystal Report. I also have a copy of Visual Studio running. My problem is after I installed Crystal Reports, I can no longer see my Project References. I get an error " Error accessing the system registry". After I installed this and did some research. I found out is is a problem Crystal created and back then you could fix it by editing the permissions. You had to run cmd.exe from the task, at 13:10 /interactive cmd.exe. Well now I can't run with interactive. Is there a way to fix this? The dimmed keys in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib --- are dimmed and I can't change. I know there is schtasks but don't think you can run interactive. Please help I need to finish a program and cant at this point.

Hi J Thomp, Thanks for the post! Is your Crystal Reports are 8.0.0.371 version? If so, please refer to this KB 269383: PRB: ‘Error Accessing the System Registry’ Message When Displaying VB/VBA References Follow the steps to solve this issue.

Thanks Miya I do have Crystal Reports and that version. The problem I have is in the KB 269383 it tell you to start the command prompt using the task scheduler by entering AT 13:10 /Interactive cmd.exe. I don't think windows 7 will let you do that. From what I read the AT will not work and also you can not have it interactive. Maybe I'm wrong but I tried scheduling the cmd an nothing ever happened. Maybe there is another way of doing this but I can't find it. Thanks J Thomp

Hi, It seems the command prompts fails, did you read the KB:193852 Task Scheduler May Fail to Run Job When Scheduled ?

Miya KB 193852 looks like they are talking about Windows NT. I'm running window 7. Is there a way to run regedt32 with interactive. Not sure that you can still use the AT in the scheduler to start a job. Read something about schtasks but not very clear how that works or if it will work with Windows 7. J Thomp
