.NET Registry Error

[GabrielS]

Hi,
I write a windows service. In that service I create a new subkey for registry. This service calls CreateSubKey() function. (in C#) When i run it, the program throw an exception to the event log said that
"Unauthorized error. Cannot write to the registry key". What can cause to this message??
(I logged in as an administrator)
Thanks

Is the service running under the Administrator account?

Thank you Phil but
as I mentioned, I was running the service under the Administrator account.

That's actually not what you said. ;-) You said you logged in as Administrator; the service does not necessarily run under the user account with which you logged in.

If the service is indeed running under the Administrator account, then I'm not sure what would cause the error. You might try using a tool like RegMon to see which registry key is causing the error.
