>Summary: If registry write fails, report to user

Initial Comment:
I used SpamBayes for a few weeks at work on Win2000.
No problems - I even enabled spam column per 
instructions.  Great program.
I used version 1.0.3.exe, but I don't see that on the 
Group pulldown.

Got a new PC at work - now have no write permissions 
in Program Files (completely locked down).  Maybe the 
Registry is similarly locked down.

Here is the log file contents:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "addin.py", line 1546, in ?
  File "win32com\server\register.pyc", line 483, in 
UseCommandLine
  File "win32com\server\register.pyc", line 413, in 
RegisterClasses
  File "win32com\server\register.pyc", line 181, in 
RegisterServer
  File "win32com\server\register.pyc", line 32, in 
_set_string
pywintypes.error: (5, 'RegSetValue', 'Access is denied.')

Any tips to work-around this issue appreciated !
I miss my SpamBayes filtering !

We should certainly report this as an error if we can, so
changing to a feature request.

If we don't remove this requirement (see other tracker) then
we should mention the requirement somewhere, too.

I suggest 2 changes: 
1) change installer to not claim success if this happens
2) mention write permissions to registry as a requirement

Also - add 1.0.3 to SourceForge group list (but this registry 
issue likely applies to all versions)

We haven't heard from the original reporter of the bug for some
time.  Without the requested information, there really isn't much
we can do.  If anyone does provide further information, please
also change the bug status back to "Open".

It does look like you don't have access to the registry. 
Unfortunately, there's no way to let Outlook know about the
plug-in without putting information in the registry, so
unless you can get permission to do that, nothing can be done.
