I have a couple of software programs and when I try to install them it tells
me that it can't write to the registry to check the registry permissions.
One application is Visual Studio 2005 and the other is IE7 Beta 3. How can I
fix this?
 
Use regmon.exe (from sysinternals) to see what registrykeys have insufficient
rights for your user. You can use regedit.exe to change the permissions for
your user.

I looked in the install log and for the key that is being listed, the
administrators have full control. I was installing the software under the
admin login.
 
Sorry I misunderstood. You installed the software under admin logon and you
get the error, that you have not enough permissions for some registrykeys. Is
this right?

Have you antispyware tools installed?

ABI
 
Yes that is correct. I do have spysweeper installed but I got no alerts at
all from it.
 
Try deactivate spysweeper and your virus scanner if one is active. Some times
visualstudio 2005 is detected as spyware.

That didn't help. I had to manually edit the registry and reset the
permissions for each section and remove inherit permissions. Thanks for
the info.
