Accessing registry when exporting charts in FLEX format

[SurveyBob]

Hello,

we see an "UnauthorizedAccessException" in our application when the FLEX format is chosen in the Export dialog (see attachment). The FlexOptions obviously tries to read and write to the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Steema Software\TeeChart.NET". The access to that registry key is denied if an application is not started in administrator mode which is the default since WindowsVISTA and Windows 7. We wonder if this behavior has already been changed in a newer version? Actually we want our application not to be forced to run in administrator mode, maybe the settings can be stored elsewhere? Are there any other places where TeeChart may use this registry region?

Best regards,
SurveyBob

Hi SurveyBob,

We wonder if this behavior has already been changed in a newer version? Actually we want our application not to be forced to run in administrator mode, maybe the settings can be stored elsewhere?

I guess this is the same as discussed here. There are no news regarding TF02014207 for now.

Are there any other places where TeeChart may use this registry region?

Registry is used for storing some other settings like: default color palette, default theme, chart editor options, etc.
