I have a project that when it was in Finalbuilder 5 it worked fine with the Virtual Store of the registry. With Finalbuiler 6, it is failing both on reading and creating the key/value.
I am using the Set Registry Value action.
Also have it turned on t allow Create key. I see it is failing in FInalbulder 6 but worked in finalbuiler 5.
Now this project is updraded from finalbuild 5.
I just diffed the code between FB5 and FB6 and there are no changes. The only thing I can think of is permissions. FB6 is more Vista compliant than FB5, it includes a vista manifest and it may be that you require administrator privileges to write to the registry.
Attached is the project I am runninng, with UAC turned on it is a permission item. Ite would be nice on the Registry have a vista/windows 7 flag or something to switch to use the Current user setting instead of Local Machine if the person is not a Priveledged user.

Due to the fact that finalbuilder 6 requires admin permission, make sure on the release tab of the MSI build it is set for Admin and not invoker. Admin does fix the privledged issue that I am seeing.
How will UAC affect FInalbuilders Server, will it requie to run as an Admin since it is a service. Only issue I seem to recall outside of the UAC on vista. is sometimes when I run as an Admin any UNC paths may not work since it is running as a system instead of the user, who towards the UNC is not running as an admin connection.
I will work with the Admin UNC item and if it shows a concern I will write more on it.
