wscript.shell

[nam4520]

Hey People,
Does anyone know why i'm getting this error. I know the root is correct. I'm using an IIS server and my platform is windows 2000 professional. Please help.

Error Type:
WshShell.RegWrite (0x80070005)
Invalid root in registry key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ADOBE\Acrobat PDFwriter\PDFFileName".
/dll.asp, line 7

thanks in advance

this is the code that i'm trying to execute

<%
dim WshShell
Set WshShell = Server.CreateObject(&quot;WScript.Shell&quot
WshShell.RegWrite &quot;HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ADOBE\Acrobat PDFwriter\PDFFileName&quot;, &quot;c:\pdfwriter\test.pdf&quot;, &quot;REG_SZ&quot;
Response.Write &quot;done&quot;
%>

I want &quot;PDFFileName&quot; to go under the &quot;Acrobat PDFWriter&quot; key, under the column, &quot;Name&quot;. &quot;c:\pdfwriter\test.pdf&quot; should then go under the column, &quot;Data&quot;. REG_SZ is the type. Thanks

I'm not sure you can use WSH functionality from ASP like that. If you place this in a .vbs file it will work perfectly, which leads me to believe that either you can't do this from the ASP page or the formatting will need to be different, ie you need to look for an ASP specific example.
