IdentityReference refer = new NTAccount(Environment.UserDomainName,
Environment.UserName);
RegistryAccessRule full = new RegistryAccessRule(refer,
RegistryRights.FullControl, AccessControlType.Allow);
RegistrySecurity sec = new RegistrySecurity();
sec.AddAccessRule(full);
RegistryKey key = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(
@"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VSTAHostConfig");
key = key.CreateSubKey("TestApp",
RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.ReadWriteSubTree, sec);
// Validate args first.
key.SetValue("AppName", args[0],
RegistryValueKind.String);
key.SetValue("ProjectTemplateLocations", args[1],
RegistryValueKind.String);
// done!
the above code should add the keys necessary to register a VSTA application to prepare it to create project templates. problem is, .NET is telling me it can't change the registry.
Are my security checks incorrect? i'm on a corporate network, but i'm local admin on all machines in my domain, including of course my own.
any help?

Try
RegistryKey key = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(
@"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VSTAHostConfig", true);
It opens the subkey as writeable. -

I'll live forever, or die trying!
Also be careful on Vista - some registry keys need administrator permissions to write to.
