Itunes install failure - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\.aif\OpenWithProgIds

Hi Guys,
I am admin on this machine. I have tried regedit as suggested for the .cdda error (1402 1406 errors) with the .aif\OpenWithProgIds entry, but have had no luck
1. There is no key within this subdirectory (Get error - 'Cannot Open OpenWithProgIds: Error while opening key')
2. Trying to update the permissions meets with failure as there is nothing to update the permissions on. I have checked on the .cdda entry and I can do this no problem).
The full message I am getting while trying to install is:
Could not open key:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\.aif\OpenWithProgIds.
Verify that you have sufficent access to
that key, or contact your support personnel.
I do have adequate permissions.
Please can you help?

This isn't really my thing but no one else has replied.
A few thoughts, if this is an upgrade, are you using the same account to do the upgrade as you used for the original install? If now it might be worth trying the other account.
Although you account has admin status, it might be worth logging in as THE adminstrator, if you haven't done that.
Although you don't have HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\.aif\OpenWithProgIds, you didn't say if you have HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\.aif - if you do it might be worth checking permission there.
If this is an iTunes 7.5 upgrade problem - you didn't say - it might be worth gettting the details to royb - see this post:

    I just purchased a 120gb iPod classic 6th generation from a friend. I have the latest iTunes installed and the software on the iPod is also current. My problem is whenever I'm syncing the iPod and iTunes freezes between the 250- 300th song... I have to manually reset the iPod for the iTunes to run correctly, but then my music isn't added and iTunes tells me I have to restore the iPod... I've done this numerous times only to no avail... Someone please help!!!

    Here is what worked for me:
      My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

  • Problems installing Itunes error message - Hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run - Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel

    Can anyone help? I have been trying to install the new version of Itunes for ages my new iphone wont activate on the old version!! Keep getting the same error message -  Hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run - Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
    Please Help!!!!!

    That particular key can sometimes be hit by malware, liam, so just to be on the safe side I think we should try a malware scan first.
    Try downloading and installing the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware. Update your MBAM definitions and then run a full scan of the PC. (Takes about 2 hour on my Lenovo.)

    Does the scan find any infections? If so, please paste the contents of the log file for the scan in a reply here so we can have a look

  • TS3212 How to fix iTunes install failure on Windows 7?

    Current ITunes user on Windows 7 & app working fine.  Dialog box pops up stating update to install.  Proceeded but install failed with suggestion to download update.  Down loaded off Apple web site.  During installation got message activating mobile devices failed even when user had administrative privileges.  I chose ignore.  When I ran new iTunes install got "Program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing..."  Tried reinstall.  Same problem.
    Suggestions?

    Try the troubleshooting for that error code on this page : Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    Or there is this post which appears to have worked for a number of people : error iTunes Store : 0x80090318 (the solution).

  • Yet Another iTunes Install Failure

    Before you refer me to other topics, please hear me out. I have looked at many of them, and their problems have been solved. Mine? Nope. I just started a topic about my iPod not being recognized by iTunes, but this time I installed AppleMobileDeviceSupport then installed iTunes. This version is different, judging by the install screen. Just like my other computer, the installer finishes and says "The Installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured." I hate this! It happens to me everytime. I tried reinstalling, deleting the installer and re-downloading, using the Windows Program Cleaner software, etc. but same thing.
    I'm hoping for a response by the next Super Bowl... XD
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm just ready for all these errors to stop happening!

    If it makes you feel any better I am having the same exact issues, and I've tried everything I can too. After reading about people's libraries disappearing though, maybe I don't want to upgrade!!!

  • Itunes install failure

    Trying to install on my PC after receiving my brand new IPad2 yesterday.  Install fails due to Quicktime already installed.  I cannot figure a way around it.  Please help.;

    Hi there - don;t know if this will help, but I have had to restore my computer several times and always have a problems with itunes after. I have just had the problem again and found this article. By following all the advice, I was able to get itunes back running again.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
    The other thing to do is delete the Quicktime icon from your desktop toolbar. Also in the section which talks about Emptying your Temp Directory, my system would not let me do this as some files were "bring used", so I went into the temp folder and manually deleted any which related to itunes or Quicktime.
    Hope this helps.

  • ITunes instalation failure

    Well I posted the same question several months ago and eventually gave up and havnt used my iTouch since.
    While instaling iTunes everything goes fine until it goes to instal Bojour then it fails. I cannot get around this problem and have tried everythign on the site to try and get iTunes to work. Please help me I need to use it again!

    I do not know if this will help...I bought my wife anIPOD for Christmas and kept getting problems with "Bonjour Services". In the end I went to the control panel and from there to add/remove programs. I had to remove EVERY Apple program....old versions of ITunes, Bonjour, Safari, and Quick time. It it said apple I removed it. Then shut the PC off and restarted it. The download worked fine that time. Good Luck!

  • ITunes Install Failure (10.7)

    I have a HP Laptop with a bit of an issue. It runs Windows 7 64bit, and hasn't had any issues till now.
    I have a 4th gen iPod Touch. I let it update it's IOS to v6, only to find that was an error.
    The version of iTunes I have installed is 10.5.1.42 32bit. This might sound strange, but the original version that was downloaded by Apple to this machine was, in fact, the 32bit version.
    The trouble starts because the IOS requires iTunes 10.6.3 to access it. When iTunes tries to update, it doesn't download. So I manually went to iTunes.com and dl'd the lattest version it would let me have: 10.7 64bit.
    When I try to install, the installer failes shortly after it starts, and tells me nothing has been changed. Tried this several times, to no avail.
    So now I'm backing up 67gigs of iTunes data files, and hoping someone with a bigger brain than me in this situation can suggest a fix. I don't have any copy of iTunes 10.5.x to try a reinstall, and am a bit leery about UNinstalling just to give 10.7 another try. If it fails even then, I'll have no access to the Touch at all.
    Any bright ideas?

    The version of iTunes I have installed is 10.5.1.42 32bit. This might sound strange, but the original version that was downloaded by Apple to this machine was, in fact, the 32bit version.
    Doublechecking something. By any chance, did you use the PC Mover utility to move the iTunes application and your iTunes content from a 32-bit system to your current 64-bit system?

  • How to change number of retries and delay before retrying after software install failure

    I deploy a software to client, but the installation is fail, so it will retry. but How to change the number of retries and delay before retrying after software install failure?
    I find "Retry Settings" in "Software Distribution Component Properties". But I think it work for Distribution, not the installation. am I right?

    First, are you referring to packages or applications because the behavior is different.
    Also, why do you want it to retry a failure? It failed for a reason so you need to fix the cause of the failure first. If it failed the first, it will likely fail the next time for the same reason. In general, ConfigMgr will only retry on transient type
    errors.
