Wix 3.0.4123 + VS2005
Hello, I am working on an installer which writes values to a key within HKLM. It works fine if there is no existing registry key, but fails when it tries to overwrite existing values. I get the error message: "Could not write value Enabled to key \SOFTWARE\xxx\yyy\AppName\InstanceName\LiveMonitor. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel" This is being run as Administrator on XP Pro. I have started to look at using the Permission element in conjunction with the RegistryKey and RegistryValue elements, but it is not obvious to me what combination of attributes I need. Essentially, I need the installer to be able to overwrite registry entries in HKLM when run as any user with admin rights.
