I am trying to create a web site on a remote server within my LAN using Visual Studio 2005. When trying to connect to IIS I get this error.
Unable to create Web 'http://web'reports/test' Server error: Error5 opening registry key "SOFTWARE/classes/application".
Please help - Error5 Opening registry key

Well I am getting close to the same error, but in Frontpage.
Server error: Error 5 opening registery key "SOFTWARE\Classes\.aom".
Have a feeling they are closely related.
Please if somebody has the solution, would love to know what it is.

I have the same problem. It came after the installation of . Net Framework 2. When I go to IIS and go to the Frontpage server extensions and do a "Upgrade virtual server with FrontPage Server Extensions 2002" everything works fine for 1 - 2 hours. After some time I have the same error.

Things I tested:
Clean computer with newely installed frontpage 2000 gave the same error.
The new visual web developer 2005 express edition gave not a error
Deleted the installation of frontpage extensions on the server and after a reboot installed the extensions
clearcache
At last solved
On the server change the permissions
hkey_local_machine/software/classes/.applications
add permissions to the following users
administrators, system, users and give them permissions to access.
Test it and if you set it right you get another key
hkey_local_machine/software/classes/.appref-ms
change the permission
Test it and if you set it right you get another key
hkey_local_machine/software/classes/.inv
change the permission
It worked for me.
