Fixed: Hadn't opened the parent key in write mode - doh!

Hi,

I'm trying out Dynamic Actions and have the following code

        public override void Execute(UpdateContext context) {
            //Add code here to define the activity that this action
            //should take on the client system during the update.

            //HKLM\Software\KineticJump\AppLifeUpdate\ServiceKeys
            RegistryKey servicesKey = getServiceKey();

            List<Dictionary<string, string>> values = context.SharedProperties["features"] as List<Dictionary<string, string>>;
            foreach (Dictionary<string, string> t in values)
            {
                RegistryKey regKey = servicesKey.CreateSubKey(t[@"ServiceKey"], RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.ReadWriteSubTree);
                regKey.SetValue(@"Path", t[@"Path"], RegistryValueKind.String);
                regKey.SetValue(@"PublicKey", t[@"PublicKey"], RegistryValueKind.String);
            }
        }

This is throwing an exception in the CreateSubKey call (UnauthorizedAccessException: Cannot write to the registry key). Looks like a permission issue but this update is running under the update service and if I create a single key in the same hive using a Create Registry Key action all is ok.

Any idea how to resolve this?

Thanks
Andy
