Error creating registry key if installing as local user #455

Do you have necessary registry write permission? |
|
No because this is an install for the user, not an admin account or global install. |
|
I had the same issue. It should be on the installer to detect whether it has permission to do that or to prompt for elevation. |
|
No it shouldn't prompt for elevation unless it's a machine wide install (which it does already if you run as admin). If installed for a single user the keys have to go into HKCU. |

I guess we need this in https://github.com/git-for-windows/build-extra/blob/master/installer/install.iss.in: diff --git a/installer/install.iss.in b/installer/install.iss.in

When I was playing around with trace2 data and creating flamegraphs, I tried a `git fetch` call to see how the `git-remote-https` command would show up. What I didn't expect was an `ensure_full_index()` region! It turns out that `git fetch` and `git pull` need to check the index for a `.gitmodules` file to see if it should recurse into any submodules. Here is the stack trace from a debugger: ``` #0 ensure_full_index (istate=0x555555ac1c80 <the_index>) at sparse-index.c:404 #1 0x000055555571a979 in do_read_index (istate=istate@entry=0x555555ac1c80 <the_index>, path=path@entry=0x555555ad7b90 ".git/index", must_exist=must_exist@entry=0) at read-cache.c:2386 #2 0x000055555571eb7d in do_read_index (must_exist=0, path=0x555555ad7b90 ".git/index", istate=0x555555ac1c80 <the_index>) at hash.h:244 #3 read_index_from (istate=0x555555ac1c80 <the_index>, path=0x555555ad7b90 ".git/index", gitdir=0x555555ad7b30 ".git") at read-cache.c:2426 #4 0x000055555573f4c2 in repo_read_index (repo=repo@entry=0x555555ac1da0 <the_repo>) at repository.c:286 #5 0x00005555556f14d0 in get_oid_with_context_1 (repo=repo@entry=0x555555ac1da0 <the_repo>, name=name@entry=0x55555582c022 ":.gitmodules", flags=flags@entry=0, prefix=prefix@entry=0x0, oid=oid@entry=0x7fffffffdb00, oc=oc@entry=0x7fffffffda70) at object-name.c:1850 #6 0x00005555556f1f53 in get_oid_with_context (oc=0x7fffffffda70, oid=0x7fffffffdb00, flags=0, str=0x55555582c022 ":.gitmodules", repo=0x555555ac1da0 <the_repo>) at object-name.c:1947 #7 repo_get_oid (r=r@entry=0x555555ac1da0 <the_repo>, name=name@entry=0x55555582c022 ":.gitmodules", oid=oid@entry=0x7fffffffdb00) at object-name.c:1603 #8 0x000055555577330f in config_from_gitmodules (fn=fn@entry=0x555555773460 <gitmodules_fetch_config>, repo=0x555555ac1da0 <the_repo>, data=data@entry=0x7fffffffdb60) at submodule-config.c:650 #9 0x000055555577462d in config_from_gitmodules (data=0x7fffffffdb60, repo=<optimized out>, fn=0x555555773460 <gitmodules_fetch_config>) at submodule-config.c:638 #10 fetch_config_from_gitmodules (max_children=<optimized out>, recurse_submodules=<optimized out>) at submodule-config.c:800 #11 0x00005555555b9e41 in cmd_fetch (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffe090, prefix=0x0) at builtin/fetch.c:1999 #12 0x0000555555573ff6 in run_builtin (argv=<optimized out>, argc=<optimized out>, p=<optimized out>) at git.c:528 #13 handle_builtin (argc=<optimized out>, argv=<optimized out>) at git.c:785 #14 0x000055555557528c in run_argv (argv=0x7fffffffddf0, argcp=0x7fffffffddfc) at git.c:857 #15 cmd_main (argc=<optimized out>, argv=<optimized out>) at git.c:993 #16 0x0000555555573ac8 in main (argc=3, argv=0x7fffffffe088) at common-main.c:52 ``` The operations these commands use are guarded by items such as `index_name_pos()` and others.

In 2.6.0 I get a message box that pops up during install:
My guess is that in this case the registry keys need to be written under
