Right click on the REGTLIB.EXE file. Select Properties from the pop-up menu. Then select the Compatiblity tab. On the Compatiblity tab, check/select the Run this program as Administrator checkbox. Click OK to save your changes. It might take take care of the problem for you. It worked for me. Good luck. share|improve this answer answered Nov 12 '09 at 18:36 Big Al 10113 1 How in the heck did you figure this out? I'm (sadly) building some VB6 code on a virgin Windows 7 x64 bit box with a MINIMUM vb6.exe install (I unchecked EVERY option). And got stuck and found this. I'd give you 20 up points if I could. VB6 sucks. COM sucks. This post was awesome
resident Excel expert at work, I have the privilege of being landed with some weird and wonderful errors which have to be fixed. Last week I developed an Excel spreadsheet for a user but when https://colinlegg.wordpress.com/2015/08/01/error-accessing-the-system-registry/ he went to test it he said he was getting an error when http://tokyo3.org/forums/holiday/topics/2965/ he tried to check the project references. Specifically when he went to Tools > References in the VBA IDE he got the message ‘Error accessing the system registry': This error had nothing to do with the spreadsheet I'd built for him: obviously he hadn't tried to reach the project references menu for a little error accessing while. When you try to pull up the project references, Excel goes off and reads a bunch of keys from the registry and this error occurs when the you don't have permission to read one or more of those keys. But how do you figure out which keys are causing the problem? The answer is to run Process Monitor (which must be run under an admin account) because error accessing the it will show you every key which Excel tries to read and whether it did so successfully. ProcMon has saved my bacon several times over the years so it's worth a look if you haven't come across it before. It's extremely easy to use: simply add a Process Name filter for EXCEL.EXE, clear the display and then, with Excel running under the user's account, go to Tools > References and watch ProcMon burst into a flurry of activity. Once it's calmed down you can stop capturing events and examine the output. You're interested in any results which are ACCESS DENIED so add another filter on the Result column. In this case I have one key, HKCR\TypeLib\{57A0E746-3863-4D20-A811-950C84F1DB9B}, which is causing the problem: A quick Google search on that key reveals it pertains to a Flash Player update which has affected a number of people. The VBA IDE error message will go away once the admin uses the Registry Editor to grant the user read access to the access denied keys listed by Process Monitor.

the system registry”. I don’t know how long this error has existed because I rarely look at Tools > Reference. The problem is in the standard user account that I usually use, but not in the administrators account that I rarely use. However, I tried creating a new standard user account, but the error occurs there as well. I’m running Office 2010 in Windows 7 on a PC that’s about six months old. There doesn’t seem to be any other problem with the system (although a few days ago, I did have some sort of hiccup that seemed to be about the video card, and this was while Excel was in use, but I doubt it’s related).

I can’t specifically recall ever looking a Tools > References on this system (the last time may have been on my old system more than six months ago).

Try adjusting the permissions of the user accounts through the admin account… Reply Quote Date: 19/04/2013 08:18:40 From: The Rev Dodgson ID: 297249 Subject: re: "Error accessing the system registry" in Office VBA Editor I haven’t had that problem, but I always run from an account with admin rights.
