MSAS hangs on registry keys with no permissions

[Guest]

MSAS hangs on registry keys that have no permissions set (i.e., they allow no
access to anyone). I discovered this when I did a scan and it hung on
HLKM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Wintools, and I had
to manually change the permissions to full control for Administrators to get
it past this key. I didn't try other permutations, but I assume it will also
break if the permissions are set to allow just read-only access. This may
also be an issue with file permissions.

This is a known limitation of the beta1 product, I'm afraid.

registry reading is always possible with a limited account or without
explicit permissions so I don't understand why you get hung. If you want
clean something you have to use the admin account.
