Hi All.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I just got a new laptop (windows 7 - I HATE it!) and, doesn't it figure, I am having issues (as usued to configure the business objects and got this erroral). I copied a project from my desktop and tried to configure the business objects and got this error:

UnauthorizedAccessException
  Access to the registry key 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MicroFour\Mapper' is denied.

Source     : mscorlib

Stack Trace:
   at Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.Win32Error(Int32 errorCode, String str)
   at Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.CreateSubKeyInternal(String subkey, RegistryKeyPermissionCheck permissionCheck, Object registrySecurityObj, RegistryOptions registryOptions)
   at Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.CreateSubKey(String subkey)

   at MicroFour.StrataFrame.AddIns.PartialClassBuilderDialog.ᜀ(TreeNode A_0)

Now, I can figure out what is causing the error - the specified key does not exist in the registry. Also, after the error occurs, I cannot close the BOM.

So what do I do to fix it?

TIA

Hi Marcia,
Since this is a new computer with Windows 7 (which I love it btw ) make sure you run VS as Administrator so everything running from the VS menu will use the Administrator rights.

Happy Thanksgiving you all!!!

Thanks, Edhy! That did the trick. The error sure was misleading!
