Error accessing Project > References window?
registry, regtlib, vb6
Solution
Depending on the Windows OS you have (I have Windows 7 Enterprise), you might want to try giving administrator rights to the REGTLIB.EXE (located in C:\Windws). Right click on the REGTLIB.EXE file. Select Properties from the pop-up menu. Then select the Compatiblity tab. On the Compatiblity tab, check/select the Run this program as Administrator checkbox. Click OK to save your changes. It might take take care of the problem for you. It worked for me. Good luck.
Problem
In Visual Basic 6, when I attempt to access Project > References, it throws an error: Error accessing system registry I am: - Logged in as the local computer administrator - running Windows XP Professional and - I can execute `regedt32.exe` and access all the registry keys just fine. VB6 was installed as the local administrator. Any idea why this happens? I'm running crystal reports 8.5 and it supposed to already have fixed that issue but apparently I still have the issue with 8.5 installed. I have also made the attempt of reinstalling crystal reports with no luck on the issue.
