Excel Registry and enumeration

[christhedonstar]

Hi,

An addin doesn't work on my box and using regmon it looks like the problem is here:

On the box it works on

EnumerateKey HKCR\CLSID\{EB3A2C54-3819-4FD1-8E0B-3D034510C162}\InprocServer32 SUCCESS Name: 3.0.2.0
OpenKey HKCR\CLSID\{EB3A2C54-3819-4FD1-8E0B-3D034510C162}\InprocServer32\3.0.2.0

On my Box it doesn't do an enumerate key and instead opens the key

OpenKey HKCR\CLSID\{EB3A2C54-3819-4FD1-8E0B-3D034510C162}\InprocServer32\

How comes on one machine it enumerates and on the other it doesn't??

PS the addin loads when Excel loads.

Thanks,

Chris

doesn't the enumerate key just give you a list of keys that are open?

Does the ...\InprocServer32\3.0.2.0 key actually exist on your PC?

 

[christhedonstar]

Yes it does.

 

[SPV]

And it contains the same sub-keys/values as the other PC?

Odd that it doesn't enumerate at all. User has read access to it?

 

[christhedonstar]

Yes same sub keys and values and I am the user who had read access to it.

Weird. All I can suggest it that you re-register it. Perhaps watch the process with regmon again in case it fails at that stage.
