aspx_beginners thread: Access to registry key denied


Message #1 by "andrew hazell" <andrew.hazell@a...> on Thu, 19 Sep 2002 13:59:07
I have downloaded a Data Access Component from Wrox which is featured in 
Chapter 11 of 'Professional VB.NET 2nd Edition'.  When I try to use it in 
my pages I get the following error:
"
Access to the registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FPD.Data.ctrlSQLDAL is 
denied. 
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the 
current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information 
about the error and where it originated in the code. 

Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the 
registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FPD.Data.ctrlSQLDAL is denied. 

The ASP.NET process is not authorized to access the requested resource. 
For security reasons the default ASP.NET process identity is '{machinename}
\ASPNET', which has limited privileges. Consider granting access rights to 
the resource to the ASP.NET process identity. 

To grant ASP.NET write access to a file, right-click the file in Explorer, 
choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add 
the "{machinename}\ASPNET" user. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check 
the Write box in the Allow column.

Line 46:         objDAL = New ctrlSQLDAL()

Line 48:

"

I have used the sn tool to generate an .snk file and also registered 
FPD.Data.dll with regsvcs.  Both gave success messages.  I have tried 
changing the permissions for the APSNET user but I don't really know what 
I'm doing when it comes to Windows security.

I am running windows 2000 pro if that matters.  I have been pulling my 
hair out now for about two weeks over this one.

Can anyone out there help please.

Thanks,

Andy
