If you're trying to write to the registry in an ASP.NET web application,
the the registry must have the proper permissions for the account that
the ASP.NET application is running under (by default this is the ASPNET
account).

Make sure the ACL for the registry key that you're writing to allows the
ASPNET account to create new keys.
