this forum and other.
I have also attache the detail.txt log file here
So i am heartily requesting you guys if you have the solution then please post your solution as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance!!!Looks like this is a permission issue with account you logged in in your operating system or account if any you chooses to run you SQL Server installation . Or for executing setup file try using run as administrator.

OKHi,
When we encounter errors during the installation of SQL Server, we can check the summary and detail logs for analysis, by default, the logs can be found in: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log.
According to your error message, it seems that your account doesn’t have sufficient permissions to modify the registry when installing SQL Server. Thus please make sure that you choose “Run as administrator” to run the setup file, and ensure that your account
has full control permissions on the \SOFTWARE registry. For more details about the error, you can review this article:
"Error 1406 Could not write value to key \SOFTWARE".
Thanks

Feature: Management Tools-Basic
Status: Failed
Component Name: Sql Server Management Studio
Component Error code: 1406
Error Description: Could not write value to key \SOFTWARE. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
The first time the installer worked installing perfectly, but I needed an named instance of "SQL2008", so I removed the instances. After this re-installing is not working.
From past 3-4 days I went through most of the links which has provided solutions for error code 1406, and not having success for installing.
I have tried these options,
1) Ran the installer using "Run as Administrator"option. I am an Administrator user for the machine.
2) In Registry Editor, right-click HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software, and then click Permissions. Click Add, type Everyone, and then click OK. Under Group or user names, click Everyone. Under Permissions, click to select Full Control in the Allow column, and then
click OK.
3) Uninstalled the Sql server product, and used Revo Uninstaller / CCleaner to clean the registry and the remaining files and folders.
4) Multiple versions of SQL installers have been tried (SQL 2008/2012/2014)
5) Logged in as local/Administrator for the machine, tried the similar steps.
6) The same installers are still working in one of the virtual machines for multiple times of installation and uninstallation without having any problems.
Please let me know, if needed further information. Please provide help for installing SQL server management studio.
Regards,
Ananth.I have the same problem.
I can not install MSSQLManagementStudio. I suppose
that is not the fault of permissions
. I have tried to
install as an administrator
on the computer in the domain where the account has domain administrator permissions.The account is added to the local administrators.
I also have tried to install as local administrator
account after the removal of the domain.
With the same result.
Operating System Windows 8.1 Prof.
I have tried 2012, 2012with SP1 , 2012x86 , 2014. All with same result:

Error 1406.Could not write value Adobe ARM
Hi all,
I have tried to install the new version of Adobe Reader XI, but I keep getting the following error messages.
I have tried to follow suggestion by others on the web as to how to sort this problem out.
I have uninstalled adobe reader and restarted the computer.
tried to download again but still get the error message.
The full error message I got was,
Error 1406.Could not write value Adobe ARM to key \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
I went to the registry HKEY_Local_Machine and then to the above location.
in the right hand side of the registry editor is listed ADOBE ARM "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\ARM\1.0\AdobeARM.exe"
I have tried to delete this entry but my system wont let me.
I am running Windows 7 ultimate 32 bit
I have 4 Gb RAM
I have an Intel core2 Quad Q6600 @2.40Ghz
I run Zone Alarm Extreme Security with virus protection.
I hope someone can help as I want to install Adobe Reader.Truthfully, I don¹t know the difference.
Okay here is what happened:
I purchased a new Mac because my old one was on the fritz. They put all of
my old programs on my new computer including my old Adobe Acrobat 7.0
Standard. Since I purchased a newer computer, I gave the old one to my
assistant. But the Apple people replaced the hard drive on the old one, so
none of the old programs were in the system. I purchased Adobe Acrobat XI
Standard for the new computer and figured I could just reload the old
acrobat on the old computer. But I had to buy new windows and parallels
programs in order to get the parallels program to work on the old computer.
Here¹s what it looks like:
New Computer:
Old Windows
New Acrobat
Old Parallels
Old computer
New Windows
New Parallels
Old Acrobat
How much more messy could this get?
Maybe I should put all of the old stuff on the old computer and all of the
new stuff on the new computer?
Or, maybe I should just update everything? Prior to this everything worked
fine. . .
But, what do you think?

Error 1603 - Could not write value to key \Skype.C...
Hi,
I'm running Windows 7 and have admin privileges on the computer. I just attempted to download and install the latest version of Skype. The Install failed with the error message: "Could not write value to key \Skype.Content\shell\open\command"..." I checked the community and saw the post about Error 1603 and running Microsoft FixIt. I downloaded and ran that. It did not list Skype in the list and did not find any problems. So... I cannot install Skype, and this error continues to occur.
How can I fix this problem and install Skype?
Thanks,
SoccerDudeTry this Lessmsi method:

Be aware that if you want to install the currently latest 6.22.81.105 version, then you should use SkypeSetup_6.22.81.105.msi file in order to extract Skype.exe and Login.cab files.

even though you're not getting a 1406 or 1402 error message number with that, when one of those messages references the /software/clases/.cda/openwithlist/itunes.exe key, the best place to start is with the following document:

Could not write value to key- iTunes install error
I've tried installing the newest update of iTunes on my computer but an error keeps coming up. "Could not write value to key \.Software\Classes\iTunes.aax\shell\open\command. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel." I've looked at other people's submissions on here and I've tried the method using the Registry Editor to make sure i have permissions but it still hasn't worked for me.
For "Could not open key/write value" errors when reinstalling try b noir's user tip:

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.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
