Error 5 installing V-Tools (1 Viewer)

[ClaraBarton]

I had V-Tools installed and I was getting an error so I uninstalled it. Now I'd like it back again but every time it fails because of the following Error 5:

lrc = api_RegQueryValueExNULL(lhKey, szValueName, 0&, lType, 0&, cch)
    If lrc <> ERROR_NONE Then Error 5

Irc returns the value of 2; 1hkey, 4604, szValueName "language" and the rest are 0.
I've sort of figured out it is a registry error but I can't find anything to fix.

1, I've also tried turning off UAC;
2. opening V-Tools in administrative mode but read-only

Any other advice?

And the error you were getting before was?

To install V-Tools you must execute MS ACCESS as administrator.
How do you open V-Tools in administrative mode but read-only?

 

[ClaraBarton]

open Access in administrative mode then go to open, search for the file and click read-only at the bottom before selecting it. Instructions are on the V-Tools site.
The problem I had before was the deep search said that function was not available and then crashed so I had to use task manager to quit Access. I've been using it for years with the only problem being it occasionally had to be reinstalled.

Yes, nowadays V-Tools must be reinstalled when Ms Office is updated!
