[omniORB] Problem with reading registry in Windows 7

[Jens Kristian Villadsen]

I've tried debugging it a bit and I found the following:

Instead of accessing the \LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\omniORB it accessed the 
\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SOFTWARE always. But what seems to be the nature of 
this? Iv'e tried the "Run as Administrator"-kinda trick, but so far 
nothing has helped me.
