Error Installing .NET on XP

We include DOTNEXFX.EXE with our .NET app installation and install it if the
customer does not have .NET. We cannot seem to get this to work for one
specific customer running XP. Running DOTNEXFX.EXE, install gets to end, 0
minutes remaining, then pops up the following error:

Error 1406: Could not write value folder to key.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHNE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\InternetSettings\Zones\0

At this point .NET uninstalls everything it had just installed. Here's what
we have tried:
* Made sure the customer has latest XP service packs
* Made sure the customer has latest Windows Installer and any updates
* Made sure the customer was logged on as admin
* Made sure admin (and every other user) had full access to the registry key
and subkeys.
Nothing seems to work. Same error. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Wayde
