Re: Windows installer V3

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

All that you asked me to check, was as you wrote. Only difference in entries
was under Permissions for Administrators and system, there were two entries
but labled "classes_root\clsid" and the other was "parentobject". Other than
that, everything else was normal.

Thats it, pretty much, here is what I got:
KB942288-v3 setup could not backup registry key
HKCR\{000C101D-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\DllVersion to file
C:\windows\$NtUninstallKB942288-v3$\reg00046. 5:Access is denied.
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.
