Access to the registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\EntSrvcTest1_direct.Global is denied

[Dominick Baier [DevelopMentor]]

Hello z,

yes you have to pre-register the COM+ component - annotate as much as possible
with attributes in your ServicedComponent and use regsvcs.exe from the command
line at install time.

Hi,

using enterprise services from dot-net:

on windows application it did OK.
on ASP.NET i get the folowing error. (see in the end)
Access to the registry key
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\EntSrvcTest1_direct.Global is denied

if i use the components services MMC snap in to create a new
application with the required DLL, the ASP.NET call does fine.

what are the steps in order for the ASP.NET process to make the COM+
(enterprise services) registration successfully as a windows
application?
should this be the way?
or should it be pre-configured in the com+ catalog? and if so what is
the
recomended way to use a command line tool for this?
also is there some XP/Win2003 server differences that should be
considered?

TIA!

The problem deals with the fact that ASP.NET uses the anon user by default,
who does not have access to your registry (for good reason). This means you
either have to have the user log on (and have an account with registry
access) or you have to get around it.

To get around, the easiest way is to set up the registry access assembly in
COM+. The ASP.NET app can hit the registry access objects, which can run
under any account you set them up under. The downsides to this approach are
the addition of both COM+ and some interop as well as the added need to keep
called .NET components signed and in the GAC. If the registry access is
separate and down the chain, this is a minor issue.

Hello Cowboy (Gregory A. Beamer) - MVP,

if auto registration happens in ASP.NET not the anon but the workerp process
account is used. But still this account is not privilege enough to do the
registration. I don't see ANY point in doing auto reg in web applications.

just run regsvcs at install time and party on.
