WebSpeed and Windows Registry

[bcriner9]

I am trying to set a value in the Windows Registry and WebSpeed is failing on the LOAD statement when I try to load then environment, LOAD "Software\Acrobat" BASE-KEY "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" NO-ERROR. Then I go on and use it and set a key value. However, WebSpeed is putting the value in HKEY_USERS instead of where I specified. If I run the procedure in the editor on the WebSpeed server, it runs fine and puts the value in the appropriate place under HKEY_CURRENT_USER. It has to be in HKEY_CURRENT_USER for Acrobat to do what I need it to do. Any ideas about why WebSpeed is defaulting to HKEY_USERS?

Clay,

My guess is that it is because the WebSpeed agent by default is running as LocalSystem whereas when you run from the Procedure Editor, you are you. You can change the user that WebSpeed runs as (Owner Information), see http://progress.atgnow.com/esprogre...+for+webspeed+broker?&resultType=5002#Goto497

Hope this helps,

Matt.

Keep in mind that WebSpeed is server-based. So you are trying to change the registry on the server not on the pc of the user.
Also it is not posible to change the user-account on a user-base. The webspeed broker and all its agents are running on the same user-account and you have to stop/start the broker to change it.
