Registry permissions?

[Keith LeLievre]

I am installing SP2 on an XP Pro machine. I am a local
Admin.

I get an error message stating that SP2 cannot back up a
registry key to *file*

I get 4 of these errors, and they are all in the same Key:
HKCR\TypeLib\{ABBA0019-3075-11D6-88A4-00B0D0200F88}

There have been funky permission issues with this
registry in the past, but we set all of the permissions
to full prior to running the SP2 install and we still get
the same issue.

Any ideas what might be the culprit?

Hi


Try the method I describe in this link to reset permissions
http://groups.google.com/[email protected]
substituting ".AudioCD" with "TypeLib".


And if you haven't done it already, see the "Access denied" section
here as well:

Thanks for the reply, but this hasn't helped. looks like
we may have to perform a format/install. too bad too,
