Registry permissions troubles

[AWS]

IdentityReference refer = new NTAccount(Environment.UserDomainName,
*** Environment.UserName)
RegistryAccessRule full = new RegistryAccessRule(refer,
* * RegistryRights.FullControl, AccessControlType.Allow)
RegistrySecurity sec = new RegistrySecurity()
sec.AddAccessRule(full)

RegistryKey key = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(
*** @"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VSTAHostConfig")
key = key.CreateSubKey("TestApp",
*** RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.ReadWriteSubTree, sec)
// Validate args first.
key.SetValue("AppName", args[0],
*** RegistryValueKind.String)
key.SetValue("ProjectTemplateLocations", args[1],
*** RegistryValueKind.String)
// done!

the above code should add the keys necessary to register a VSTA application to prepare it to create project templates.* problem is, .NET is telling me it can't change the registry.
Are my security checks incorrect?* i'm on a corporate network, but i'm local admin on all machines in my domain, including of course my own.

any help?
