Hi,
I have used the TRegware component in an application and when the application is started by a user other than the administrator, I get the message "Failed to set data for data". The mesaage dissapears if I give the user access to the registry key 'HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID'. How can I allow any user to use my app without giving them access to this registr key?
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thank you

Hi,
Like an idiot I thought I would ask you all before actually having a look through the source, as I am a fairly new C++ builder programmer and don't know pascal at all.
I noticed in the source that the 2 keys HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE are used. Which of these keys causes the problem? I think it is HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. If I change the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT key to something the user can access, will the windows "user" still be able to access HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE?
Thanks again, any suggestions from someone who has come accross this and has a secure but functional work around would be appreciated.

Hi, Me again
I have recently discovered that HKEY_CURRENT_USER is the only place a windows "USER" can read/write. Better late than never...
does anyone have a good place in this root key the hide the reg info?
Thanks, |

Sorry for the long time it took to respond. Right now I'm working on a new version that will use "if" statements to check if the person is a user or not. If the person is a regular user, it will use HKEY_CURRENT_USER to store the data and therefore only that user will have it registered. If the system administrator registers the program, it will go under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and everyone that accesses the computer can use it. |

Until Winston gets that new version out, my solution was to simply edit regware4.pas to change all instances of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to HKEY_CURRENT_USER. The only drawback is that each user now has to enter the code in order to register. |
