registry LockPermissions problem on Vista
This is very strange, I used to be able to give "Everyone" full control of a registry entry under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
Now, I no longer could. I did not change anything in my project. Could this be caused by a Windows Update on the Vista machine? Is Microsoft preventing installshield to lock permissions under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion"
I tested the lockpermissions to another registry key under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MyProduct, and it worked as expected.
Please advise, thanks.

Hello,
I'm curious, why do you want to give full control on this registry key for everyone?
It seems to me that is a security lack.
