Hello,
I can't seem to use Registry, I tried to many attraction ways but I have every time an error "Value cannot be set".


Exemple code :

module main;

import std.stdio;
import std.windows.registry;

void main(string[] args)
{
	version(Windows)
	{
                 Key registryKey = Registry.localMachine()
			.createKey("Software")
			.createKey("Microsoft")
			.createKey("Windows")
			.createKey("CurrentVersion")
			.createKey("Run");


		registryKey.setValue("key", "value");
        }
}

Humm, try:

auto regKey = Registry.localMachine()
.getKey("Software")
.getKey("Microsoft")
.getKey("Windows")
.getKey("CurrentVersion")
.getKey("Run");

regKey.setValue(...);

It doesn't always work the same error.

Is your program running with administrator rights? Unprivileged programs may not write to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE by default.

I just tried with administrator rights, but it doesn't work.

You need to use a REGSAM value (e.g. KEY_ALL_ACCESS) to open the key with write access:

/////////////////// test.d ///////////////////
import std.windows.registry;

void main()
{
    auto regKey = Registry.currentUser()
    .getKey("Software")
    .getKey("Microsoft")
    .getKey("Windows")
    .getKey("CurrentVersion")
    .getKey("Run", REGSAM.KEY_ALL_ACCESS);

    regKey.setValue("Calculator", "calc.exe");
}
//////////////////////////////////////////////

Thank you it works.
