Here is a previous post about this: From: Subject: XP SP2 "Access Denied" & the Fix Date: Sat, 14 Aug 2004 08:22:57 -0700 Newsgroups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general quote As with SP2 RC2, I am having the same problem with the GA release of SP2. "Access Denied" during installation. This is error can be worked around by reading the setupapi.log under the windows directory. I am posting this to see if others are having the problem. For some reason several registry keys related to windows media player and a few others do not have any permissions set for admin and system. Specifically the following need to have permissions set to full control for admin & system: HKCR/vnd.ms.radio IP6FwAPI.NetFirewallV6Manager HKCR/WMPlater.OCX/EditFlags HKCR/Software/Classes/UICTL* may vary HKCR/Software/Classes/ADDC* may vary you may have others so check the log for "Unable to delete registry , Access Denied" You may need to go thru the install a few times, as you may fix one set, the next time you run it you may encounter a new set. The best thing to do is check the first 3 listed above and the set full control on permission to HKCR/Software/Classes and its child objects for Admin and System only. /quote The above might be a very laborious if there are several registry keys that have a permission issue. In that case, it would be better to reset the security settings back to the defaults for all registry keys. More here on how to do that: How To Reset Security Settings Back to the Defaults http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=313222 If you only want to reset the registry permissions, add this to the secedit command line: /areas REGKEYS -- torgeir, Microsoft MVP Scripting and WMI, Porsgrunn Norway Administration scripting examples and an ONLINE version of the 1328 page Scripting Guide: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scr...r/default.mspx |

SP2 installation failing due to some registry update problem
Thanks a bunch for the help Mr. Bakken. I really appreciate it. The
registry keys I had to change the permissions for are different, so I had to run install multiple times. Then somewhere somehow one key got screwed up and is throwing an error. It just isn't accessible. Can't delete it or modify it. That has messed up everything.I can't restore my computer, make back-ups, nothing works because of that key. Anyway, i'm giving up on the sp2 stuff, maybe later. Thanks again :-) Aravindh |
