Error Code 2908 with "Fix It"

[MM]

I tried to install the "Fix It" for the windows shell vulnerability
at this link:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2286198

I get an error message:
"The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this
package. The error code is 2908."

I had the same problem when I tried to install the Help Center
vulnerability "Fix It" a few weeks ago.

Any ideas what may be wrong?

Thanks,
MM

Windows Installer error 2908 -
Could not register component

That's usually a Permissions error. Have you tried the manual workaround
" Using the interactive method ", that is shown in the Fixit article ? -

At the very least, you'll know if there's a Permissions issue with the
reg key that the Fixit is trying to Export as a backup or when it
attempts to delete the key's Data.
The error may be related to the installed AV/security suite or security
software that is actively monitoring registry settings.
