Max · Post by **Max** » Wed 27 May 2009 19:04

HI, i have some problems with dot connector for oracle:
at the end of the installation when the install process try to edit this key(s)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\Projects\{E24C65DC-7377-472b-9ABA-BC803B73C61A}\Filters
it give me an error because i can't edit that key(s) (i'm the admin of the computer)

this is one of the errors:

Error creating registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\Projects\{E24C65DC-7377-472b-9ABA-BC803B73C61A}\FileExtensions\.lqml

RegCreateKeyEx failed; code 5.

Access denied.

Click Retry to try again, Ignore to proceed anyway, or Abort to cancel installation.

i skipped the errors by pushing the ignore button, but after the installation when i try the examples Visual Studio give me this error:

This problem occurs because you don't have enough permissions to access the registry.
1. If you have OS Vista, have you tried to run the installation package of dotConnect for Oracle with the "As Administrator" option?
2. Please try to disable your antivirus software during installation. Maybe it doesn't allow to access the registry.
3. Try to edit the permissions to the registry branches that are not accessible manually (right click on a particular key node in Registry Editor | Permissions).

If the above recommendations don't help, please specify your OS and dotConnect for Oracle versions. We will try to reproduce the problem.

Thanks for the reply!!
My operating system is Vista, and i run the installation as administrator, i'm the only user of this pc, i try to grant to anyone the registry node, but an error occured....
my version of the oracle dotconnector is the last trial version.
And i don't use anti virus...

Maybe i have to re-install VS???

Thanks Max

We can reproduce the problem in one case only - limited or denied permissions for the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\Projects\ node of the registry.

So please try setting the full access for this node to Everyone. When adding this access rule via Advanced Security Settings for Projects, please clear the "Include inheritable permissions from this object's parent" option and check the "Replace all existing inheritable permissions on all descendants with inheritable permissions from this object" option.

Please notify us if it helps.
