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: XXXXXX-XXXXXX0E-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.

2.Click Start, click Run, type control admintools, and then click OK.
3. Double-click SoftGrid Client Management.

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:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Softricity\SoftGrid Client\CurrentVersion\Permissions
Configure the AddApp registry entry as follows:
•Value name: AddApp
•Value type: REG_DWORD
•Value data: 1
