Cannot set default aggregator as LUA #361

Closed clairernovotny closed 7 years ago

Launch RSS Bandit as a non-admin user.

You will be prompted with a dialog asking whether or not you want RSS Bandit.

Click "OK"

You will receive the following error: System report this error on attempt to set the default Aggregator:

'Access to the registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\feed is denied.'

Also note the poor grammer and lack of sentence casing in the error message.

I think it is trying to tell me:

The system reported an error while attempting to set the default aggregator:

Reported by: *anonymous

Yes, right: this can only be done by an administrative account, but need to set only once. Further that is not a requirement to run RSS Bandit the normal way: what you will missing is the ability to Right-Click within any IE instance and select on a feed link "Subscribe in default aggregator" from the context menu.

We will change any spelling, if wrong. But cannot do much at this time to prevent it overall. Especially for an Security exception you will now get a more detailed message and some hints what to apply to make it run (was yet in the current code base, but not for build 117).

Thanks for the report.

Perhaps you could fail over to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\feed

The intall could set the value globally, and each user could answer this question for themselves.
