I am trying to modify the value of a key in the registry on Windows Server 2008 using regini.exe tool. I even modified the permissions of the key to major full access ones (1,5,7,17). But my updatation still fails with error code(?) 5 in paranthesis, as below. Even I tried with all permissions enumerated all 1-23(!). REGINI: SetValueKey (PVSPTEnabled) failed (5) REGINI: Failed to load from file 'my.reg' (5) Any ideas to solve this issue? Thanks, Raja

5 = Access denied. Run it with admin rights: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/How-do-I-run-an-application-once-with-a-full-administrator-access-token"A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code" CLIP- Stellvertreter http://www.winvistaside.de/

I am a member of "Administrators" group as well. Don't I have admin rights to execute this?

I change the permission to full control via command-line with regini.exe that does not fail, so I should be good here w.r.t. permissions on the keys. Am I right?

with UAC the filtered token is used until you request to use the full admin token: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/How-do-I-run-an-application-once-with-a-full-administrator-access-token"A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code" CLIP- Stellvertreter http://www.winvistaside.de/
