VBScript and RegRead error

[Turkbear]

This may have been asked and answered before, but a search didn't help...
On an asp page I want to read from the registry, but,
with the following code:

 Set objShell =CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    GetConnection = objShell.RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\WHS")

I get an
Error Type:
WshShell.RegRead (0x80070002)
Unable to open registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\WHS" for reading.

- I have checked and the Registry entry does exist..
Do I need to grant some kind of permissions for the browser to do this...?

Hi Turkbear,

I'm just fishing but if the registry entry is a key rather than a value then the registry path will need a backslash on the end. To save typing you can also use the abbreviation HKLM rather than HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Check out this link

for more information.
