'Access to path and application was denied' error message

Tech Note: TN0122
Product: OpenEx, BrainWare
Version: All
Date Added: 2004-06-15

Issue

If you are using the Windows XP or Windows 2000 operating system and you do not have administrator privileges, an "access to path and application was denied" error message will be displayed when attempting to run an OpenEx project or when exiting BrainWare. Both BrainWare and OpenEx modify the registry on your Local Machine (that is, the PC on which you run the application). Windows requires that users have administrator level privileges to modify the Local Machine registry.

Workaround

Ensure that all users have administrator level access.
