Registry Modifications

I am building a package which requires some modification of the registry of the PC. Is there way to do this on a machine where the user does not have administrator rights to the PC?

If i install the package with admin rights it works and without them it doesn't, that is why i am assuming that the issue is related to permissions

Any help will be much appreciated.

Re: Registry Modifications

Hi Aidan,

Please note that an user which doesn't have Administrator privileges can install registry entries only under HKEY_CURRENT_USER. If the package creates registry entries under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE then the user which runs the package must be an Administrator.
