Re: How do I allow aspnet user to change registry

Roger

I really don't know the answer to the why? bit. I'm not
the developer, I'm just responsible for installing the
application at client sites. From what I can gather (based
on the error that is displayed), the registry key being
changed has something to do with the event log. I know
that when I log on to the application an 'User XXXX logged
on at XXXXXX' type entry appears in the Windows event log.
I assume it has something to do with this. If you can
confirm that this can definitely be done without having to
change the registry then I will demand the developers
correct it, otherwise I will adjust the registry
permissions as Harini suggested.
