<p style="margin-bottom:0pt <span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif; font-size:9pt We have an app that has worked for years on WinXP, Vista and Win7 but suddenly does not work on Windows 8. When run it throws the following error: Requested Registry

<p style="margin-bottom:0pt When this is installed on a WIN 8 client the error occurs on execution.
<p style="margin-bottom:0pt If I right click the executable, on the client, and select run as administrator, I still get the error
<p style="margin-bottom:0pt If I right click the executable, on the client, and change compatibility to Windows 7 then the app runs without error.
<p style="margin-bottom:0pt The section of code that I have included is where it fails. That section of code only reads the registry. We have other sections of code in this app that write to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Since execution never reached that code I can’t
say for certain that it would have worked or not but I can assume that it would not have.
<p style="margin-bottom:0pt As an AutoDESK developer we write apps that will load into AutoCAD and Inventor. The only way we can get our apps into those programs is to read and write to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
<p style="margin-bottom:0pt I am not sure what has changed in Windows 8, and searching the general web has found nothing.
<p style="margin-bottom:0pt Please advise.

<p style="margin-bottom:0pt When this is installed on a WIN 8 client the error occurs on execution.
<p style="margin-bottom:0pt If I right click the executable, on the client, and select run as administrator, I still get the error
<p style="margin-bottom:0pt If I right click the executable, on the client, and change compatibility to Windows 7 then the app runs without error.
<p style="margin-bottom:0pt The section of code that I have included is where it fails. That section of code only reads the registry. We have other sections of code in this app that write to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Since execution never reached that code I can’t
say for certain that it would have worked or not but I can assume that it would not have.
<p style="margin-bottom:0pt As an AutoDESK developer we write apps that will load into AutoCAD and Inventor. The only way we can get our apps into those programs is to read and write to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
<p style="margin-bottom:0pt I am not sure what has changed in Windows 8, and searching the general web has found nothing.
<p style="margin-bottom:0pt Please advise.
