DLL problem

Author	Message
Peter Upfol #1 / 7	DLL problem I have a dll which accesses the registry for information. When i access thru the ASP the values are not returned... The DLL is getting all the right info and works, but using GetSetting returns only default values not the actual registry value ? Is there a security problem ????

Michael Harri #3 / 7	DLL problem It's more than likely the fact that VB's GetSettings function looks under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings key, which is generally meaningful only for an actual interactive logged on user, not the IUSR_machinename account... -- Michael Harris Microsoft.MVP.Scripting -- Quote: > How do i change the security for the dll to access the registry? > > Yes.

Michael Harri #5 / 7	DLL problem What registry keys are you trying to read, in particular from what hive and under what account? -- Michael Harris Microsoft.MVP.Scripting -- Quote: > I am using the registry API's now and still get the same result ! > Any Ideas ? > > It's more than likely the fact that VB's GetSettings function looks under > the > > HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings > > key, which is generally meaningful only for an actual interactive logged > on user, not the > > IUSR_machinename account... > > -- > > Michael Harris > > Microsoft.MVP.Scripting > > -- > > > How do i change the security for the dll to access the registry? > > > > Yes.

Edward Yan #7 / 7	DLL problem Yes. Windows NT Registry has security access control as folders/files do. Quote: > I have a dll which accesses the registry for information.
