Works 2000 / XP

[Mike]

Recently I installed WinXP Home Version, then I find out
I am unable to install Works 2000, something to do with
permissions,a window pops up stating,

Error 1401: Could not create key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\MICROSOFT\WORKS\5.0
\COMMON\LanguageResource. Verify that you have sufficient
access to that key, or contact your support personel.

Also I am unable to install XP Service Pac 1a, at the end
of the install a window appears saying "ACCESS DENIED"

What can I do in order to install these pacs.? Thank you.
Mike

If you are installing from a limited account, the errors would indicate you
need to install from administrator account.

Is there any thing else you've done such as perhaps running a repair
install, restored a backup or reinstalled XP. All such actions can the user
to lose ownership rights and this can not only interfere with access but
also cause problems with installations.

Also, if you are using FAT32 as opposed to NTFS, then ownership and other
security won't come into play but you haven't given us enough information.
There have been other responses to you from when you previously posted. If

I have reinstalled XP and my file system is NTFS, when
I've tried to install I made sure I used the
administrator account so I don't know what is wrong, If I
lost my ownership rights by reinstalling XP how would I
get them reinstalled? or would it happen automaticaly? I
am lost! I think I only seen the one other reply a little
earlier on unless I missed one. Thanks for your help.

Note, file ownership and permissions supersede administrator rights. How
you resolve it depends upon which version of XP you are running.



XP-Home



Unfortunately, XP Home using NTFS is essentially hard wired for "Simple File
Sharing" at system level.

However, you can set XP Home permissions in Safe Mode. Reboot, and start
hitting F8, a menu should eventually appear and one of the
options is Safe Mode. Select it. Note, it will ask for the administrator's
password. This is not your administrator account, rather it is the
machine's administrator account for which users are asked to create a
password during setup.

If you created no such password, when requested, leave blank and press
enter.

Open Explorer, go to Tools and Folder Options, on the view tab, scroll to
the bottom of the list, if it shows "Enable Simple File Sharing" deselect it
and click apply and ok. If it shows nothing or won't let you make a change,
move on to the next step.

Navigate to the files, right click, select properties, go to the Security
tab, click advanced, go to the Owner tab and select the user that was logged
on when you were refused permission to access the files. Click apply and
ok. Close the properties box, reopen it, click add and type in the name of
the user you just enabled. If you wish to set ownership for everything in
the folder, at the bottom of the Owner tab is the following selection:
"Replace owner on subcontainers and objects," select it as well.

Once complete, you should be able to do what you wish with these files when
you log back on as that user.



XP-Pro



If you have XP Pro, temporarily change the limited account to
administrative. First, go to Windows Explorer, go to Tools, select Folder
Options, go to the View tab and be sure "Use Simple File Sharing" is not
selected. If it is, deselect it and click apply and ok.



If you wish everything in a specific folder to be accessible to a user,
right click the folder, select properties, go to the Security tab, click
Advanced, go to the Owner tab,
select the user you wish to have access, at the bottom of the box, you
should see a check box for "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects,"
place a check in the box and click apply and ok.

The user should now be able to perform necessary functions on files in the
folder even as a limited account. If not, make it an admin account again,
right click the folder, select Properties, go to the Security tab and be
sure the user is listed in the user list. If not, click add and type the
user name in the appropriate box, be sure the user has all the necessary
permissions checked in the permission list below the user list, click apply
and ok.

That should do it and allow whatever access you desire for that folder even
in a limited account.
