I've posted an answer on SO, hope that helps.

Getting COMException "Could not read key from registry (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040150 (REGDB_E_READREGDB))" when instantiating WCF service

Hi

I just posted this on StackOverflow 

 
as well, so if you'd like to answer there, please go ahead. Here is a copy 
& paste of my issue:

For a project at work we use Castle Windsor as our inversion of control 
container. In my team's project we depend on another team's WCF web 
services. The config for consuming these web services are set up in such a 
way that we will simply constructor inject the necessary interfaces from 
their library and then Castle Windsor creates and manages the WCF service 
instance.

This works fine for everyone in my team, except me. It used to work fine 
for me as well, but a couple of days ago I started getting the below stack 
trace whenever I hit code that require Castle Windsor to instantiate a WCF 
service:
