Registry keys that I can't delete can't take control of etc.

[Rich]

I'm trying to install Acrobat professional so I can create PDF files but I
keep hitting some registry key that stops the install. I took control of all
the ones I could find and then the install goes further but still finds
another key that is locked or I don't have permission to.

How can I either reset the Vista registry so that the program can install or
a way for me to take control of the non conforming keys.

Thanks for any help, Rich

Open the Acrobat 8.0 disk in Computer, right click the Setup executable and
click 'Run as Administrato'.

Yes I've done that as well no go. I've drilled down to the registry key in
question and I can't delete it or take ownership it just gives an error.
