A friend of mine is running Windows Media Center. He had a virus and killed his system so I restored it from an image that was a year old. We put Service Pack 3 on his computer and updated all critical patches. Installed Explorer 7 too. Before the virus, he never had Service Pack 3 or IE 7 but I installed them since I wanted to get him all up to date before he takes his computer home.

When he took the computer home, to install his personal software, he ran into similar issues with two of the installations. Quicken 5 and FireFox will not install. Firefox error indicates that it can't write to the Registry and the Quicken 5 error states something similar... that there's no permission to write to the folder. When he brings the computer to my house on Wednesday, I will verify these error messages or at least explain exactly what they are. For now, I'm just giving heads up and was wondering if anyone has an idea.

My thoughts have to do with the Installer. It had to be upgraded to install SP3. Then again, it may have to do with SP3. Any ideas thus far? Sorry error description is not detailed (exact at this time).
Thanks
