Is it possible to register an asynchronous pluggable protocol user specific registry?

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa767916(VS.85).aspx for Async Pluggable protocols.

We currently have it working, however it requires that we write to HKey_Class_Root. In the interest of trying to allow a non-admin install, it would be nice if we could achieve the same thing with writing to HKey_Current_User. Simply changing the registry location doesn't appear to work, and I'm wondering if it is possible

Solution

  • Figured it out, the per machine location is follows: HKCR\CLSID{DLL-GUID} But the per-user location is: HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID{DLL-GUID}
