1.Server Error: Error 2 opening registry key...

I manage 3 websites and I only get this error when trying to open one of
them for editing...

"Server Error:  Error 2 opening registry key "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared
Tools\Web Server Extensions\Ports\Port 80".  I've checked the registry and
the key doesn't exist but, like I say, it doesn't prevent me from opening
other sites for editing.  All sites are hosted with the same provider and
similarly configured.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Rob

2.Registry Error "cannot open parameters, error while opening key"

Hi all,

When I try to install the Cisco VPN Version 4.6.04.0043-k9 in my Win XP
SP2,
I get the error "another version of this product has been found it will
be uninstalled first and then the install can continue". And then it
wants a reboot, I reboot, run setup, get the same error.

(I tried to install the VPN before several times, but it would always
stop in the middle of the installation with an error, I forgot which)..

I tried to make a manual uninstall of all its files and registry
entries, as described in the Cisco web site, but then I could not
remove the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\DeterministicNetworks\DNE\Parameters

I am logged in with an admin account;
I tried setting full permissions with REGEDT32 on that branch but it
was set already. 


Thanks

3.Error Message: Error 2 opening registry key

I have FP2002 but the error message comes from the fp2000 
knowledge base. I found the article in the KB but this 
doesn't work. I followed it to the T but this does not 
cure the problem. This is not the remedy. The article is 
#264922 keywords kbprb KB264922. Does anyone have an 
answer to the open registry key when you open a web on 
local computer?

4.Error: Error 2 opening registry Key

Hello,

I have a perl script that used to use fpsrvadm to create Frontpage
2000 extentions from a webpage instead of having to go on the server
to install it. But now with FP2002, I'm suppose to use owsadm.exe
which gives me an error but only when I run it from my webpage. 

When I run the owsadm.exe directly on the server in a dos prompt
window, it will work but as soon as I use the owsadm.exe in my perl
script I get the following error:


Starting install, port: /LM/W3SVC/2.

Error: Error 2 opening registry key "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared
Tools\Web Server Extensions\Ports\Port ".


The webpage I use is requests a username and password before being
able to access it. I've even checked the event viewer security log and
when I execute the command from my webpage, I see an event starting
owsadm.exe using my username and password. 

I'm administrator on the machine and actually I've put everyone full
access on the web extentions registry.

I just don't know why it would fail like that when it works on the
server directly.

Here's the command being used by the perl script:

system ( "\"C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Microsoft Shared\\Web
Server Extensions\\50\\bin\\owsadm.exe\" -o install -m /LM/W3SVC/2 -u
administrators " );

I would appreciate any help at this point because I'm just about to go
crazy here. 

Thank you!

5.Registry error 'Error while opening key'

I have a program that places a key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE during
install (an MSI built with Visual Studio Installer).

After about a week, the installer attempts to repair the installation (but
fails usually because the user is running under the 'Users' group and hence
has no install privs).  Upon further examination, the registry key created
(call it HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Blah) seems to be corrupted, such that
when viewed using RegEdit or RegEdt32, Windows complains... 'Error while
opening key'.

It is obvious that the installer is kicking in again to repair this registry
problem, but I cannot find a reason that my particular branch of the
registry should be corrupt.  The program is written in VB6SP5 and this
problem occurs on Windows 2000 Pro and Windows XP, but not on every
installation of the software.

Has anyone seen this before and/or know what causes it?

Thanks in advance,

Dirk
