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 he went to test it https://colinlegg.wordpress.com/2015/08/01/error-accessing-the-system-registry/ he said he was getting an error when 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': https://www.daniweb.com/programming/software-development/threads/435246/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 while. When you try to pull up the project references, error accessing 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 it will show you every key which Excel tries to read and whether it did so error accessing the 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.

a component or Referrence to vb6 Project it give me this error msg : error accessing the system registry how i can fix that ??? sry again visual-basic-6 Hiba Alkhatib HibaPro -3 127 posts since Jun 2012 Community Member 2Contributors 1Reply 2Views 4 YearsDiscussion Span 4 Years Ago Last Post by AndreRet 0 AndreRet 362 4 Years Ago Here is a few solutions... This is because it runs a service which creates registry keys under the SYSTEM account. When VB tries to enumerate the keys under HKCR\TypeLib it fails and gives the error because the user running VB6.EXE (even if it set to run as administrator) does not automatically have READ rights to the key. At that point you get the "Error accessing the system registry" dialog. To workaround/fix this: Download Procmon and PsExec from sysinternals. Run Procmon and add a "ProcessName" filter with VB6.EXE as the process name. Then Select Project->References. And the error dialog should pop up. Switch to procmon and scroll to the end of the events list - you're looking for the last "ACCESS_DENIED" message for opening a registry key under HKCR\TypeLib. Thats the first key you need to change permissions on - so you'll need to run regedit in the same account context that the keys were created in - the SYSTEM account. to do this install psexec on the windows PATH somewhere then run: psexec -i -d -s c:\windows\regedit.exe (obviously change the path if yours is different) this will run regedit through the SYSTEM account. You can verify that even the administrator account does NOT have permission to edit these keys by running regedit through a Start->Run dialog as this elevates the priv' level to administrator. Find the key you identified in step 4 - right click it and select Permissions. Find the current logged on user that you use to run VB6 with and add them with full control to the permissions list. Repeat steps 3-7 because there may be more keys that exhibit this behaviour, until the Project->References dialog appears in V
