In trying to fix the inability to install updated iTunes/Quicktime, I find I
can't delete some of the leftover Quicktime registry keys.
There are four of them in HKLM/Software/classes that won't delete.
Sometimes just clicking on the key provides an Error Opening Key message.
Any attempt to delete results in an Error Deleting Key message.
I have set the permissions on the key to allow me (as any of several user
IDs with admin privelges) and Everyone full control, to no avail. I have
booted into Safe Mode and tried to delete them, to no avail. I've tried two
different registry cleanup tools, to no avail. Are you seeing a pattern
here?
There are no Quicktime services/processes running that I can see, as all QT
files have been deleted.
System is XP Pro, SP2, all current updates installed. Antivirus and spyware
checks show clean system.
