HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT is virtual hive, contructed by merging data from HKLM & HKCU

The debugger runs under the context of the user, but the client runs as SYSTEM.

So, if you use the option to run as local system, the relevance evaluation is passed off to the BESClient service and runs as SYSTEM, not as you.

0k, i am going to use this clause finally into bigfix action -

problem is same for my action , as this relevance code i put into bigfix action and due to local system behavior of client it evaluate to false and action comes Not relevant ,

so how to evaluate the relevance in user context in bigfix fixlet ?

You woud have to code it to look explicitly in hkcu\software\classes if you want to make user by user changes

But the coding to get HKCU from a process running as SYSTEM needs a bit of coding - a forum search will give you plenty of examples

Keys "Software" of user keys of logged on users should give you a start
