Afternoon,
I'm just now test-driving ASPRunner. I'm stuck at step 2. I cannot connect to my mdb on my local drive (where all development work is done). At step 2 I'm getting "Unable to open registry key 'Temporary (volatile)..." I checked forum posts and the manual. It shouldn't involve permissions because it resides in My Documents where I have administrator permission. If I select the ODBC Driver (MS Access Driver), there's no difference in outcome. Unable to create master-detail relationships, I'm stuck.
I did take a run at a simple Northwind ASP. I got the same registry key prompt but was able to select the ODBC driver and create master-detail relationships. Got all the way to Build before prompted with "Cannot find file C:\Documents and Settings\.... \My Documents\source\include\jsvariables.asp" The prompt also said I should re-install ASP.
This is baffling. Am I missing something obvious here? I'm only looking right now to test a couple of ASP pages via the web server with pocket PCs. Looks like it may be a nice tool if I can get past this.

Hi,
this error may occur in a number of reasons.
At first, your account may lack Registry access permissions. I recommend you to run ASPRunner under Adminstrator account.
If this doesn't help, please try workarounds described in these articles.

Also there is a possibility that your DB-access sybsystem is deprecated or broken. I recommend you to install the lates MDAC and Jet drivers.
