pesto9 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I am getting these error messages when trying to install v3.0: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the registry key"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREPaint.NET" is denied. at Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.Win32Error(Int32 errorCode, String str) at Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.CreateSubKey(String subkey, RegistryKeyPermissionCHeck permissionCheck, RegistrySecurity registrySecurity) at Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.CreateSubKey(String subkey) at PaintDotNet.SetupNgen.MainImpl(String[]args) at PaintDotNet.SetupNgen.Main(String[]args) ====================== An unhandled exception ('System.UnauthorizedAccessException') occurred in SetupNgen.exe[432] ====================== There is a problem with this Windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personel or package vendor. ====================== There was an error while installing Paint.NET. (1603) ====================== I am on XP/sp2 and have tried editing permissions of the afore mentioned registry keys (when they were available to), now they are not even showing up to edit even after about 8 installation attempts. Have tried the Windows Install Cleanup app as well to no avail. The installer only gets far enough to create the directory: c:\Program Files\Staging\(PaintDotNet_1032485459.msi & PaintDotNet_1032485459.msi) I am completely baffled why this is happening. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluftom Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 After much determination, luck, and trial and error, this is what worked for me. click start-run-regedit-click ok double click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHIN right click software-left click on permissions I only had "everyone" listed. I added Administrators and then System. Restricted came up on it's own with read already marked in gray. The other 3 I checked allow full control and read. Click apply and then ok. Download program. Hope this works for you. Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
