Error by read register key

Tirta

Hello..
anyone know what this error message means?
What to do?
Thanks.

Windows Script Host Object Model 1.0

This message is for C/AL programmers:

The call to member RegRead failed. WshShell.RegRead returned the following message:
Register key "HKCU ...." cannot open for read.

Registry keys have Permissions.

Run Regedit.exe, highlight the key of interest, then click View, Permissions.

Does the Navision user who is getting the error message have Read permission to the key?

Exists the key in registry? :-)

Also... When trying to read the (Default) value of a key, you must include a trailing '\'...
If you forget the trailing '\', you will get the 'cannot open for read' error.

// get the full path to fin.exe, stored in the registry as
// the default value of the AppPaths\fin.exe key...
FinExePath := 
  wshShell.RegRead(
    'HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\fin.exe\');
