HI,
I am getting “Requested registry access is not allowed.” exception when trying to read a registry key in Windows Server 2008 r2 64 bit edition.
I have added the IIS application pool to Administrator group but still getting same error.
So far the solution on web din’t work for me.
Thanks.
This issue has to do with granting the necessary authorization to the user account the application runs on.
