Finally I figured out that I did not have the right permissions in the registry tree.The solution is simply to right click on cannot create value error writing to the registry windows 2008 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 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!)

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.

Community! Creating your account only takes a few minutes. 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 https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/446765-cannot-create-value-error-writing-to-the-registry permissions, I have full control and I am the owner of the key. If I check the next key under "services," I can edit the values and add values under it. But, for some reason, I can't edit this key http://serverfault.com/questions/555091/unable-to-modify-registry-as-admin-on-windows-2012 for the particular software on a couple of machines. So if I have full control 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 error writing so I'm not sure what I am missing.

Any idea what could be wrong/different on this particular machine? –MvdD Nov 14 '13 at 20:09 Perhaps using something like Process Explorer, you could check and make sure that no other process on the system has a handle open to that key already? –Ryan Ries Nov 14 '13 at 20:22 That must have been it.
