Hi there,

I want to set an application as service on Vista through C# application.
The vista is not allowing me to access the System/CurrentControlSet/Services key through code.
I am getting Access Denied !

Any help to overcome this is welcomed.


Thanks in advance...
AltaVista

Hi AltaVista,

To edit registry in Vista needs administrator permissions. So your application needs to run under a user which has administrator permissions. We can right click your application, and choose “run as administrator� I’d like to remind you that editing the registry is a dangerous action. Please be careful when dealing with it.

Best Regards,
