Registry access error

[Gorenda]

Hello everyone,

So, this is my first package that I've made and it's perhaps a little ambitious.

So, here's the preliminary information:

My developer account is the administrator of this machine. My Wapt version is 1.5, and I'm using PyScripter 3.2. My machine is running Windows 10
My test machine is not an admin machine. My WAPT server is also on version 1.5. The machine is running Windows 10

So, I'm trying to add registry keys in the "session-setup" section because my goal is for the registry keys to be added for all new users who log in to the machine

Code: Select all

registry_setstring(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\Policies\Microsoft\Onedrive",'DownloadBandwidthLimit',60, type=REG_DWORD)

On my computer, it works fine. The keys appear exactly where I want them.

I am therefore deploying the newly created package.

On my test machine, nothing is showing up. So I did a

Code: Select all

wapt-get session-setup ALL

in a back.

And regarding my package in question, I have the following line!

2018-08-09 17:26:36,186 CRITICAL 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe8 in position 13: ordinal not in range(128): faulty string is ''[Error 5] Acc\xe8s refusal''

I don't understand how to fix this access problem.

Can you help me?

Thank you in advance

To understand, you can open a registry editor.

Navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software.

Right-click on the Policies key and then select Permissions.

You can see that the user does not have permissions on the Policies key.

Thank you for your feedback.

Indeed, I understand better now. I had used as an example a package that modifies the ODBC key. But the ODBC user has restricted read/write access.

Is there a workaround in WAPT?

Sincerely,
