Cannot Create Value Error Writing To Registry
Contents |
mistake on Windows Vista, but even so I had a hard time finding the solution on Google so I thought I'd post about it. When I was trying to add a key in the Registry Editor, regedit.exe, I got an error cannot edit progid error writing value message saying "Cannot create value: Error writing to the registry."I have never seen this on XP

(but then again I don't edit the registry that often), but since this is Vista with UAC (User Account Control) I thought it might have

to do with permissions so I tried to run regedit.exe as Administrator but to no avail. Finally I figured out that I did not have the right permissions in the registry tree.The solution is simply to right click on the

folder and select Permissions. You may not even have the right to change the permissions, if this is the case then first you have to take ownership - click Advanced and then the Owner tab. Funny thing about my folder is that the owner was a group called "TrustedInstaller". After I had taken ownership, I wanted to change it back to the "TrustedInstaller" group but it was nowhere to be found. Apparently you can't change it back - it is not a cannot create value error writing to the registry windows 2008 group but a service and part of Windows Resource Protection (WRP) as noted by Richard Civil and others in this TechNet post. Two other useful newbie things I found out - thanks to this post by Tim Sneath of Microsoft - when trying to figure out how to run a regedit.exe as Administrator in Vista was this: Run from the XP Start menu is now replaced with Start Search bar in Vista. Simply type regedit.exe (or cmd.exe etc.) in the search bar and hit Enter and it will run. To run an application with Administrator privileges using this method, instead of hitting Enter you hit Ctrl+Shift+Enter. 19 Comments (Click here to add your comment!)

ThanksXp10r3r_3X Anonymous Jul 12, 2007 @ 19:03:00 Thanks for the bit about restarting Outlook after setting securities on Macros. I guess I'm so used to Outlook telling me when it needs to restart that it didn't occur to me there would be a case where it wouldn't tell me. Anonymous Jan 02, 2008 @ 22:50:00 This was very useful.

Join Now So I get this error when trying to add a dword or even change a value in a key under hklm\system\CurrentControlSet\services\x1 When I look at the effective permissions, I have full control and I am the owner cannot create file of the key. If I check the next key under "services," I can edit the values and add unable to save permission changes values under it. But, for some reason, I can't edit this key for the particular software on a couple of machines. So if I have full control cannot create value error writing to the registry windows 8 and I'm the owner, is there something else that could be locking this key? The permissions are identical with the next key in hklm\system\CurrentControlSet\services so I'm not sure what I am missing.

I'm having firewire problems and have since discovered an xp sp2 patch that will fix this.. I downloaded the patch, but have to create a value to set the speed for the driver... It shows you how on the windows site, so that's not a problem.. It won't let me create a Dword value.. That's all I have to do now, and it won't let me.. VERY FRUSTRATING!! I've tried disabling my virus protection, which is getting me nowhere.. Any suggestions? Thanks.
