After upgrading PDF creator to version 2.2.2 we receive the following error (only relevant info):
… Requested registry access is not allowed …
at pdfforge.PDFCreator.Core.Printer.PrinterPortReader.ReadPrinterPort(String portName) …
I used procmon to catch the error and got an ACCESS DENIED error on the following regkey:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors\pdfcmon\Ports\pdfcmon
I resolved the issue by giving everyone permission to read the key but I’m looking for a better fix. My questions are:
- is this a bug in this version?
- Do others have the same issue?
- Is there a better way to fix this?
- System and Administrators have read access. Why isn’t that enough?
