AVG installation problem

[Redtiger]

When trying to install AVG onto an XP Pro machine I get the following
error message:

Local machine: installation failed
Installation:
Error: Action failed for registry key
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Interface\{F7A533DB-676E-4cc2-9890-BD547A7CFD28}:
creating registry key....
Access is denied. (5)

When I go to that key in the registry I can't do anything to it
(rename, delete, etc.) due to permissions - and I can't change the
permissions even logging in under the Administrator account in Safe
Mode.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated!!

Last time I saw that error was trying to install AVG into an early Vista
build!
You need to take ownership of the registry key, and then change the
permissions
