App Builder Installer Build Registry Keys no longer created in Vista.

[ptjoe]

This board has been a great resource for answers...thank you all for your help.

Last week (7/31/09), an automatic MS Windows Vista Home Premium
upgrade was performed on my development PC.  After the upgrade, I

used AppBuilder to build the final version of my application, which writes

3 string keys to the Window's registry.  The Installer build completed successfully,

however, when I run setup.exe, I received an OS error stating that I don't

have permission to update the registry.  I have full admin rights AND

User Account Control (UCS) is OFF.  This error notification occurred 3

times, once for each registry addition attempt.

The installation was working correctly prior to this Vista update and still works in XP.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Please note that this is VI independent- the registry keys were created through

the AppBuilder 'Installer' tool.

I worry that this problem will manifest itself with all new LV application installations

that have the Vista upgrade.

BTW, This is with LabVIEW 8.6.1 Pro

Do you only have the problem with a built application? Or do you get problems with a regular VI?

Does the installation fail only when you try to install on computers that have the Vista update?  Or since you have updated your development computer, when you build the installer again the installation will fail on any computer?  Have you tried installing it on more than one computer with the Vista update?

Please attach the installer log for when the installation fails.

It's when the application is run.  The problem does not occur for XP just damn Vista.

I assume you are trying to write to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

Some information from NI about this would be great; abou permissions etc.
