Thats it, pretty much, here is what I got:

Thats it.

The above registry needs to have it's Permissions changed.
KB942288-v3 refers to the files being installed by Windows Installer 4.5.
This location is where Windows Installer writes to the registry regardless of Version:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{000C101D-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}

So, open the Registry editor. [ Start > Run > type in
regedit
Click OK or press Enter ]

Click the plus sign next to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
Scroll all the way down to CLSID
Click the plus sign next to that.
Scroll down to 000C101D-0000-0000-C000-000000000046
Right click 000C101D-0000-0000-C000-000000000046 and choose Permissions
Under Group or user names click on Administrators to highlight it and then check to see if Permissions for Administrators shows
Full Control and Read.
Same for System.
Now click the Advanced button under Permissions for Administrators and System.
Both Admin and Sys have 2 entries, one is inherited from
CLSID and one applies to the subkeys under 000C101D-0000-0000-C000-000000000046.
Is that what you're seeing, Terry ?

Please use the Export function before changing any Permissions here.
*Right* click 000C101D-0000-0000-C000-000000000046, click Export.
Name it Installer.reg and Save it to the Desktop for now.

Now scroll all the way up back to CLSID, right click it and choose Permissions. SYSTEM and Administrators should show these Permissions:

Full Control
Read

For Advanced, under Applies to, it should show This key and subkeys and NOT be inherited.

Close the registry editor.
We'll go over what you find prior to recommending any editing of Permissions.
