Issue with running BIOS as a power user

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

Hi

I am using BIOS 5.33.06 and I have set it in environment variable and in the component manager. If I run any BIOS example as a administrator everything works but if I run the same as an user I have issues with running the code like the error that I have attached in this email. Such a problem has been discussed on the web but people are suggesting to login as admin and work which I do not want to. I want to work as a power user on my PC. Can you help me solve the error I get. Thanks.

 

Regards

Bala

    We cannot guarantee that CCS will function without Administrative privileges on your Windows login. There are some instructions I have handed out to others in the past with success and I will paste them below with the caveat that I cannot guarantee this will work for you. I strongly suggest backing up your registry beforehand and possibly discussing these steps with someone in your IT group. With that said...

    Windows XP

    With Windows XP the registry and the file-system is read-only. Files created by an Administrator are read-only to "Users". Also with WinXP, the tool "regedt32" had been replaced by "regedit". The procedure to edit the registry permissions is as follows:

    a) Log in as an administrator.
    b) Choose "Start->Run" from the Windows XP Start menu.
    c) Type "regedit" to bring up the Registry Editor.
    d) Expand the key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GODSP".
    e) Right-Click on the "GODSP" key and choose "Permissions..."
    f) From the "Group or user names:" list, select the group or user (if they are not in the list, you may need to add them)
    g) In the "Permissions" box, locate the item "Full Control" and check the corresponding box under "Allow".
    h) Repeat steps "d" through "g" for "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Texas Instruments" and "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT"

    Next, once CCStudio is installed, you will also need to edit the permissions of the individual files.

    a) Log in as an administrator.
    b) Browse to the CCStudio installation folder using Explorer
    c) Right-click on the installation directory (i.e. ) and select "Properties"
    d) Select the "Security" tab.
    e) From the "Group or user names:" list, select the group or user (if they are not in the list, you may need to add them)
    f) In the "Permissions:" box, locate the item "Full Control" and check the corresponding box under "Allow".
