Cannot install due to registry errors.

*NOTE TO SUPPORT STAFF: I DID NOT VIOLATE YOUR "SIGNATURE" RULES IN MY LAST THREAD, I DIDN'T EVEN INCLUDE A SIGNATURE. PLEASE ACTUALLY READ THE THREAD BEFORE YOU GO DELETING THINGS FOR NO REASON. ALL LINKS IN THIS THREAD ARE RELEVANT TO THE SUBJECT AND I CANNOT EXPLAIN MY PROBLEM WITHOUT THEM.*
So, I went to install the iOS 4 today and lo and behold.. I needed to update my iTunes before I could do it for some stupid, arbitrary reason. Fine, I download it and am spammed with errors stating I don't have permissions to access certain folders for some reason (take note, I am the Administrator.) I go and delete those folders then re-run the installer.. Things run smoothly until I get these two registry errors.

I've been going out of my head trying to figure out what the **** is going on here.
I've tried:
- Completely removing all Apple software before re-installing
- Re-downloading
- Re-redownloading
- Re-re-redownloading
- Logging into the root Administrator account (the one that can only be accessed by first enabling it via command prompt) before installing
- The solution posted at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10545566, all the relevant registry keys are locked. The permissions cannot be modified nor can I delete said registry keys.
But to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and yes, I am running the x64 version of the installer. I really don't want to have to format because of this.

And bump again, do I not deserve support or something? I brought the iPhone 4, surely I should be entitled to actually use the **** thing?

Cannot install due to registry (iTunes 7)

I downloaded and attempted to install iTunes 7 last night, however I got this error:
http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/1204/itunesld7.jpg
I am the computer administrator. I have tried re-downloading the installer, did not work. I also rebooted my computer, still did not work.
I hope to get this problem fixed soon, because now for some reason iTunes 6 is not working anymore
Thanks.

This error is the result of a permissions problem in the registry. Windows performs installations with the built-in operating system account SYSTEM on behalf of the user even when you are an administrator. SYSTEM is normally the most powerful account, but administrators have the power to restrict SYSTEM's access. Follow the steps below to re-grant Windows (SYSTEM) the access it needs to write to the key in question.
Warning If you modify the registry incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system.
1. Uninstall QuickTime from Add or Remove Programs or from the Start Menu group QuickTime.
2. Download and install SubInACL from Microsoft.
3. Assuming you installed SubInACL to the default path "C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\" then from Start Menu Run... enter all on the same line:
"C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\subinacl.exe" /keyreg HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\QuickTimePlayerLib.QuickTimePlayerApp\CLSID /grant=SYST EM
4. Install iTunes 7. If any other registry keys have the same problem, reapply step 2 to the specific key. Make sure to type the key exactly. You may have to repeat this step a number of times depending on how much SYSTEM has been restricted on your computer.
These steps are safer than just deleting keys.

I just downloaded the newest update for mountain lion. After downloading and restarting for installation, I got a message stating that the update cannot be installed due to an error. Yet when I check I have version 10..8.3 and safari version

I just downloaded the newest update for mountain lion. After downloading any restarting for installation, I got a message stating that the update cannot be installed due to an error. Yet when I check I have version 10..8.3 and safari version 6.0.3, which the update was for. Does this mean that the update is iinstalled and the message was incorrect?

Good timing! Oh well, at least you shouldn't have to update again for a while. It will be nice kickstarting your Mac with the very latest System Update knowing any hiccups from 10.8.2 would have been ironed out if they were going to affect your workflow at all.

Download the offline installer from http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1195540 and save it to disk.
In order to make sure that no previous installer is running, restart your computer, then run the downloaded installer.

Cannot install apps directly; no error msgs; AppleID okay

Yesterday, in the middle of upgrading an app on my iOS 7.1.1, I tried to install another app and it prompted me to enter my AppleID password. From that time selecting any app from the App Store on my device would SILENTLY not do anything, ie. Click on FREE --> Click on INSTALL --> after a few moment the icon would revert to FREE, ie. No error messages, nothing, ziltch, nada !!
I then spent hours not finding any exact same problem on numerous forums, but found a similar problem, albeit with Apple actually bothering to give an error message, on this blog:
[LINK#1]
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/102935/cant-install-apps-from-app-store -on-iphone-with-ios-7
What disgusted me all the way through my search was the IDIOTIC advice that Apple was consistently giving users with similar problems – they had them upgrading to the latest iOS (what a waste of time, as when you happily have a stable platform, you have to deal with a whole new set of things not working – theoretically could be okay, but Apple have consistently proven they ****-up every iOS release), and then fully resetting their device and wiping out all their settings (doesn’t seem to bother Apple to waste their customers time).
After successfully fixing the problem, you realise when reading the other blogs that Apple knows what the problem is, but due to their obsession with a sealed user-de-enabled environment, they don’t want to provide access to the tools (why not? You’d think by iOS 7 they could have by now integrated soft recovery tools safely in the OS), but would rather make users corrupt their devices by dancing them in circles rather than admit what the problem is, and that 3rd party tools can fix.
The solution? This linked blog indicates Apple get a corruption in their SQLite database that manages downloads. I installed macroplant.com’s iExplorer (I have no affiliation) and voila! renamed the offending file, and after a sluggish 30 minutes (where is was likely rebuilding the file), I could then install apps again on my device. NOTE: no upgrading to later buggy iOS version, and no resetting my device and wiping out all my good work.

[LINK#3]

SYMPTON:
Cannot install apps directly on Apple iPhone / iPad / iPod with no error messages. User AppleID and other settings are correct and confirmed.
RESOLUTION:
Used 3rd party tool (get it and install it now before they remove the free DEMO mode) – macroplant.com – “iExplorer”
QUESTION:
If Apple insist on having a closed / sealed user environment, why (given how many iOS iterations they have gone through) haven’t they included the tools in the iOS to fix database corruptions without dancing users through timewasting upgrades and wiping out their settings, when this won’t fix the problem?

By god, it works!!!!!!! Thanks Tim
Now this would not be a permanent solution - disabling zonealarm everytime I want to sync. What is the perrmanent solution?

Cannot install iTunes, Windows 7; error 7

I downloaded the last iTunes update and since then, have not been able to open iTunes. I have followed the instructions from the community posts about uninstalling iTunes and all the ancillary programs several times and still cannot open iTunes. Each time I reinstall, I get an error message about the Apple Mobile Device Support and the install stalls. I cannot get past it. If I hit ignore and let the install finish, I end up with error message iTunes not installed correctly, please reinstall Error 7.
I run Windows 7 on a Toshiba Satellite laptop. All of my Windows updates are current.
Please help. I can't back up my iPhone b/c my settings are for backup on computer. I cannot backup on cloud b/c of this. Because I cannot backup, I have updated my software on the phone yet.
In backup/upgrade limbo.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Cannot Install - Invalid Product Keycode Error

How does a person actually install Crystal Reports software, the program will not get past the first screen indicating the keycode is invalid or expired. We got 2 emails with 2 keycodes and they don't work either. This is very frustrating. We are installing Crystal Reports Professional XI Business Objects. I am not sure how to get a valid product code. I appreciate any assistance in this matter, it has been 3 days since we opened the box and still we cannot install it.

- Go to SAP Support Poratl link
- Go to Keys and requests
- At the left hand side you can see License Keys
- Click on that and you would find a topic Service Corner
- Under that you can see different options related to License keys.
You can choose any option according to your requirement.
This might help you.

Can't install due to "registry" and "dll" error messages.

I can't install any Adobe products. This occured after a complete reinstall of my Windows XP - if that has anything to do with it. I have done a reinstall before without any problems.
I keep getting error messages about "missing registry" and "dll"s.

I tried to install again to see what the exact error message was, but now all I get is a Microsoft message that says "Adobe Flash Player Installer has encountered a problem and needs to close." I have been having other problems installing other products and have been getting messages like "Entry Point Not Found" followed by messages like"entry point...could not be located in the dynamic link library".
I don't know exactly what "repaired" means in installing an OS. What I did was use my reinstall Windows OS disc and follow the instructions for a "clean" install. The prompts say that my files will be wiped out, and that programs will have to be reinstalled. When promted to pick a partition I always pick the default of a 50/50 split of the hard drive.
