I am trying to change the version of Visual studio in run command. I am following the steps given in one of the post : Change Visual Studio Version in run-command(Start -> Run -> devenv)

But I am getting following error - "Can not edit - error writing the values new content".

I am using Windows 7. I dont have admin rights. I think i have "power user" type admin rights.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

You get the error because you do not have permission to edit the registry. Try the follwing:

  • Right-click on the key (int this case 'App paths') and click on 'Permissions';
  • Select your username, check the option “Full Control” below and click on “OK”:
  • Now try the steps from the linked post again

  • yaa.. you were right. I dont have permissions to change. And I dint have a permission to check the check box "Full Control". I had to use admin password to get it done. Finally its working now. thanks :) – GirishK Sep 30 '11 at 07:27
