overlapped io error opening key on foreign registry

[Richard M. Hartman]

RegConnectRegistry() works.
CRegKey::Open() returns ERROR_IO_PENDING (997)
but here's the wierd part: this only happens if the user
running the code is "User" or "PowerUser". If they
are "Administrator" this works just fine, we can open
the foreign key and query values.

If this were a permission problem I would expect to
get a permissions-related error, not an overlapped io
error. What gives?

I really need to be able to do this with Joe Average User
permissions, we can not require that someone have
super-user access to do this.

Any clues?

Remote Registry require Administrator authority AFAIK.
