SYMPTOMS
When you try to start a Microsoft SoftGrid-enabled program by directly using the program's .osd file, you may receive the following error message:

The SoftGrid Client could not launch the application you requested.

You are not authorized to perform the requested operation. You must have 'add applications' permissions.

Error code: 0E-00002015



CAUSE
This issue occurs because the SoftGrid client tries to add the program to the Client Management Console snap-in as a new application when you directly use the .osd file. By default, the user does not have permission to do this.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, you must grant the &quot;Add Applications&quot; permission on the client computer. To do this, use one of the following methods:

Configure the permission locally

 * 1) Log on to the computer that is running the SoftGrid client.
 * 2) Click Start, click Run, type control admintools, and then click OK.
 * 3) Double-click SoftGrid Client Management.
 * 4) In the navigation pane, right-click SoftGrid on local host, and then click Properties.
 * 5) Click the Permissions tab.
 * 6) Click to select the Add Applications check box, and then click OK.

Configure the permission by using a script
Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.

After you install the SoftGrid client, you can change permissions by using a script. To resolve this issue, use a script to configure the AddApp registry entry under the following registry subkey:

Configure the AddApp registry entry as follows:
 * Value name: AddApp
 * Value type: REG_DWORD
 * Value data: 1
