Adding Registry Entry to HKEY_CURRENT_USER by 3rd party application not allowed

[Niclas]

Hello,

we are developing an Electron app that got installed by a client in their Citrix Workspace.

The Citrix Workspace received permissions to install Software, but when starting the application, Electron was not able to add a protocol registry entry to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Classes.

Is this the default permission setting in Citrix and is this adjustable, is it possible to have a Workaround in Electron to add the entry without changing something in Citrix, or is this behaviour immutable in Citrix?

Thanks for the help and with best regards

That directory is locked out by design with Windows.  See this article for info.
