Re: Final straw with Silverlight and Vista

This post explains how you can change permissions so you can :

To edit or delete a protected key, make sure regedit is opened with administrator rights.

Select permissions on the key and change ownership from
trustedinstaller to an account/group with Administrative rights.

Once this change is applied to the key, grant the Administrators - Full Control.
The key can now be deleted or changed.

It is beyond me why since I am admin of my workstation cannot get this to work. Now on the unistall I am told that
I cannot open the registry key AgControl.AgControl.1.0\CLSID.

I go to regedit and attempt to view it but it say I can't. This is possibly the most ****ed up thing I have ever
seen. I have tried to use regedit as admin but cannot.

Sounds like you have a corrupt registry.

I have UAC turned off like most people who use Vista.

You're joking of course...

Sorry Mark, but all this is no joke. For instance:

I go to the page http://support.microsoft.com/silverlight The Silverlight Solution Center. Then click on the "Verify
if you have successfully installed..."

Now I am at http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/getassistance.aspx.

Since I cannot see the image moving I click on "Please install Silverlight now".

Now that takes me to
http://www.microsoft.com/library/errorpages/smarterror.aspx?aspxerrorpath=/silverlight/downloads.aspx

Which if you go there has a title "We're sorry, but we were unable to service your request. You may wish to choose
from the links below for information about Microsoft products and services.".

This whole experience is beyond any level of competence I have seen.

Now if my registry is corrupt what would I do. I can see the registry items for Silverlight (there are lots of links
to "solutions" to this problem." which I have tried to no avail.

So I uninstall then reinstall with the setup.exe I had. I now have items in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes for
both AgControl.AgControl and AgControl.AgControl.1.0.

I cannot open either key and I am using regedit as admin.

HELP this is so .... I am at a loss for words.
