GOAL:
WEBCLIENT: Full Access Needed to Application Key in Registry
GOAL:
What are the required permissions for WebClient Application upgrade ?
GOAL:
How to determine proper registry permissions for WebClient Applications ?
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.1X
OpenEdge 10.0A
Windows NT 32 Intel/Windows 2000
FIX:
Any user that did not perform the initial install of a WebClient application on a machine, must be given FULL access to the application key in the Windows Registry,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\<VendorName>\ApplicationName>
in order to update or run the WebClient application.
To query or modify registry key permissions, run regedt32.exe, navigate to the Registry key above. Choose Security > Permissions from the menu and give FULL access to the person(s) that will run the WebClient application. Administrator privileges are necessary in order to change permissions for a user.
Machine may have to be restarted for changes to take full effect, ie. directory access, for some users.
In some versions of the Windows OS it may be necessary to start the Web Browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.) using the Run As option.
If using a user account to test, make sure to disable the check box next to 'protect my computer and data from unauthorized program activity'.
This should allow installation of objects requiring special privileges. If this doesn't work it may be necessary to Run As Administrator.
