Error accessing Registry from Windows app

[Steve]

When attempting to access the Registry, I receive errors.
I have attempted to add code to assert access to the key,
but this does not help. The documentation on accessing
the Registry is pathetic.

Dim rp As New
System.Security.Permissions.RegistryPermission
(Security.Permissions.RegistryPermissionAccess.All Access,
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MyApplication")
oKey = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey
("Software").OpenSubKey("MyApplication").OpenSubKe y
("Database")
oKey.SetValue("Databases", "1")


Error Message:

An unhandled exception of
type 'System.UnauthorizedAccessException' occurred in
mscorlib.dll

Additional information: Cannot write to the registry key.

Use the Regedt32 tool (in Win2000) or Regedit (WinXP) to set read/write
access on the particular registry key for the user your are trying to access
with, or the group that the user(s) are a member of.
