How to overcome Error 1402 on Reader 9.3 installation?

I am getting Error 1402 attempting to install Reader 9.3. It points to registry problem in Hkey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current version\Run\Optional Components\IMAIL
I have read instructions to correct error 1402 but I am still having problems. Adobe Reader does not appear in the Add/Install section of the Control panel. I have used Regedit to look at the above registry key. I can get all the way to the end where IMAIL appears. But I do not know what to do at that point. I am fearful of damaging the registry file until I know precisely what to do. Can someone please step me through the instructions so that I can correct the problem?
Thank you.
Steve

Steve - I've spent weeks on this and most recently hours tonight. I finally got it through changing the permissions and owners in the registry. I could not find the post of the person who posted instructions for changing the registry. After tweaking it worked. I have Windows 7, 64-bit, Firefox 3.63, Adobe Reader 9.2. For error 1402 - the error says MACHINE32 but it is a misprint - it is actually MACHINE. I think that since I have 64-bit I had to add: "Wow6432Node" between SOFTWARE and Microsoft in the location given in the error message to find the Run\OptionalComponents\MSFS, IMAIL, and MAPI.
Run regedit.exe
Find MSFS, IMAIL, and MAPI
In each change the permissions to full control of CREATOR OWNER, Administrator, Administrators, Users (my name), SYSTEM
Change OWNER in each of those 3 to SYSTEM
Change OWNER in OptionalComponents to SYSTEM
I was sure to click "APPLY" any time I made a change. When done, I successfully updated to Reader 9.3.
Some of these changes may be unnecessary - but I didn't know which ones - so I changed them all.
I am the only one using my computer and I don't know if these settings should not be used if the computer is shared.
Good luck to all who are having this problem. I hope this works for you. Over the past few weeks I've had to shut down the computer & when turning it on, press F8 to USE THE LAST GOOD CONFIGURATION since I thought I might have screwed up the registry - and then I'd try again. Don't give up!

How to overcome error 1500 when installing reader on Windows 8?

Trying to install Acrobat Reader on Windows 8. After downloading, I keep getting an error 1500 (another installation is progress). I've tried doing the recommended registry edit (removing an "inprogess" key -- it's not there) and running msiexec/unreg and msiexec/regserver. After taking these steps and trying again, error 1500 occurs at the same point. Is this a Windows 8 issue? Anyone know of a solution?

Try downloading the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
Restart Windows to make sure nothing is running, then run the downloaded installer.

How to overcome error 507 (too many events??)

By now have way over 20,000 events in Calendar and cannot update with iCloud anymore ("error 507" -- means too many, right?).
So I guess I have to delete some old ones, but cannot find the checkbox in Preferences-Advanced in Calendar anymore.
In i-Cloud web Preferences-Advanced there is a "Hide" old ones, but just hiding would not really solve the problem.
So what can one do with the new Calendar 6.0 to bulk-delete old entries?
Thanks for any help provided.

HT201444 can anyone tell me how to overcome error 4014 on my iPad?

My iPad seems to be stuck in recovery mode and will not let me restore. The screen went blue (which happened a few times) so I quickly tried to put into sleep mode, but it wouldn't do anything. I held the sleep and home to put into recovery and went ipad went black, never to turn on again. When I try to restore it tells me the ipad is in recovery mode and needs to be restored (never anything on the ipad screen), so I select OK to restore, it goes through extracting software and then once it tries to connect with ipad again I get the unknown 4014 error. The only weird thing that I can recall is the first time it did this, the ipad got very hot on the backside and I was on the amtrack train using their wifi. Any ideas??

Hello jenipha,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPad. It sounds like you are seeing error 4014 when trying to restore your iPad. If you haven't yet, I recommend following the steps below when getting error 4014:
Install the latest version of iTunes.
Restart your computer.
Make sure your computer is up to date. If an update requires a restart, check for updates again after you restart.
Learn more about updating OS X.
Learn more about updating Windows.
Restore using another USB cable.
Restore your device on another computer.
If you continue to see error 4005, 4013, or 4014 when you restore your device, contact Apple for support.

How to overcome error of rented movies downloaded to iTunes, not being copied to the iPad?

I have downloaded two rented movies from the iTunes Store to iTunes 10, plugged in my iPad and continuly receive an error msg that "The Movie(s)" was not copied to the iPad because it (they) cannot be played on this iPad. I've found this exact error on-line and Apple suggests that iTunes version 10 corrects this issue ... "Obviously it doesn't!!!" I have researched this issue for three days now and every indication is that there should not be any problems, that all my software, downloads, iPad updates are up-to-date. Any suggestions would be greatful.

Based on the numerous posts regarding iTunes and the App Store, there appears to be an issue at Apple's end. Although Apple has not provided any indication on the cloud status page.
Do not change your settings.

Error 1402 HELP

Thank you first for reading my post. I have read over the fourms for a few days now before posting. I would like to list some facts about my system and myself. I am very computer savy and I own and built this computer. I don't buy stock computers I have always built my own.
My computer:
OS Windows Vista Ultimate 64 Bit OEM
Asus Mother Board
6 GB Ram
1 GB Nvida Card... Pc has all the bells and whistles $2,000 invested
Windows Defender
Malwarebytes
Super Anti Spyware

Adobe 9.3.4
Now this the registery problem, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run\Optional Components\IMAIL now when I go to my regedit and manualy look for this key I can't find it past Run. I can search all the way through the key's and get to run and there are no further entries after that file. So I'm guessing that maybe Either its missing and I don't have a backup to reinstall it or Adobe is having a major problem.
Solutions I have tried:

2. Install the same by double clicking on the "subinacl.msi" just downloaded.
3. Open Command Prompt window through the Run Dialog Box (Start -> Run and type "cmd" and click OK)
4. In the Command Prompt window, type in the following commands:

Additional information    "Error 1402 occurs when the Windows installer is unable to read a particular registry key. Installation can fail because the Acrobat or Reader installer attempts to clean up registry keys of previous versions of Acrobat or Reader. This cleanup is necessary to avoid conflicts with Acrobat or Reader plug-ins and add-ins for third-party software" This is in their words. Seems it can't read it to Uninstall Also or it removed my key during INSTALL.
As you can see I have put some effort into this and I own the machine and I am the Administrator. I build computers from parts and this is the finest I have built todate. Some help would be welcomed.

Hi,
Thanks for the very descriptive post!! The information came in handy while trying to figure out what went wrong in your case.
Ankit_Jain's Solution. I can't get this command prompt to work even with manual or copy and paste and Im aware of the mistype she put foward and corrected.
1. Download Microsoft's SubinACL tool from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e8ba3e56-d8fe -4a91-93cf-ed6985e3927b&displaylang=en

   ii. subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponents /grant=administrators=f /grant=SYSTEM=f /grant=USERS=f /grant="Creator Owner"=f (Hit Enter)
Since, you are using a 64 bit machine, the command 4(i) needs to altered slightly to:
i. cd /d "%ProgramFiles (x86)%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools" (Hit Enter)
Apologies for the confusion caused while trying out the same earlier. Hope it works this time around.

The latest update has resulted in a runtime error (R6034) and I keep being told Microsoft Visual C Runtime Library is being accessed incorrectly. Anyone know how to overcome the problem? I am using a Dell Inspiron 9400 running Vista.

The latest update to itunes has resulted in a whole series of runtime errors (R6034). Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library states it is being accessed incorrectly. I am also told that Apple Mobile Device Failed to Start. Additional messages suggest the error is in itunes.exe and ituneshelper.exe. I also get Error 7 (Windows error 1114). Anyone got any ideas how to overcome this (these) problems?

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

Trying to install Reader 9.1 - error 1402

So I'm trying to install Reader 9.1. I'm using Windows XP, Firefox 3.0.11. The installation gets to about 98%, and then I get an error message that says:
Error 1402. Could not open key: HKEY\LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponents\MSFS. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
Um, what? Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks.

Thank you for the response, and sorry it took so long to respond in my own thread.
I tried using the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility, but it still doesn't work. I opened up Registry Editor, and browsed to the key it said was missing. It doesn't look like I have that key - the only thing in there is something that says (default) in the name column, type is REG_SZ, and under data it says (value not set). I have no idea what any of this means, and I'm also not sure how to see what permissions I have. Can you make any sense of this?

How do I overcome error 150:30 with a replacement system hard drive on a Mac Pro?

I have replaced my system hard disk drive on a Mac Pro and used Mac 'Restore' to restore the complete system from a Time Machine backup. Everything else works correctly, except my current Adobe products (InDesign CS4 and Photoshop CS4) both give a licensing error code 150:30 and each suggest contacting Adobe technical support.
Can you help?
Blair Cramond

Thanks for your reply. Is it necessary to uninstal the existing CS4
products before re-installing?

How do I correct Error 1402 when installing 64-bit Office 2010 Professional Plus?

During installation of Office Professional Plus (64-bit) on a 64-bit Dell PC with 4 GB RAM, installation fails about 75 percent of the way through resulting in file roll back. Display: Error 1402 "Setup cannot open the registry key ('UNKNOWN\Components\DA42.
. .EE8\7E577. . .F4E80')"
I tried registry cleaning (CCleaner) and "regedit" plus Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove the 32-bit version of Officer 2007 Professional, cleaned the cache again, re-booted and attempted to re-install Office Pro Plus 2010 but got the same error
1402 message. Clearly, I have not corrected the registry error and do not know how to do more than what I described here. Any ideas out there?
Thank you!

To all that encounter the same problem...use this advice from michelsmith!
I have just had numerous dramas over the last few weeks with Microsoft office 2010 professional plus. My first issue was a skype virus I infected my computer with which stuffed around with security settings and hid all my folders.....then I tried to uninstall
Office and reinstall with no success (as it hid all my systems icons...I'm no computer person so thought this was the best way to rectify it).
Sometimes it would install then would come up with registry errors 1402 othertimes it wouldn't even get that far.
Make sure you run the command as Administrator and copy and paste the above in...then wulahhh!!!
Tried to install again and worked perfectly!
Thankyou thankyou thankyou....I'm never one to write on these things...let alone join up....but this advice just saved me from reinstalling my OS which I was hoping would solve the problem....(phewwww :) )
So a comment saying thankyou was needed...

I still have problems with Error 1402 in Adobe Reader 9.5 Installation. Can anyone help me?

Hi, I have a Compaq Presario C500 Laptop with Windows Vista installed. For the past year, I've been trying to upgrade from Adobe Reader version 8 to either a version 9 or 10. However, when I download and begin the installation, I always get two error messages:
The first one is the error 1402 could not open key. The registry path is HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\Software\Classes\PDFShellServer.PDFShelllnfo2\CurVer. Verify you have sufficient access to that key or contact your support personnel.
The second one occurs when it retrys: It say error 1402 could not open key. The registry path is HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\Software\Classes\AcroAccess.AcrobatAccess\CurVer. Verify you have sufficient access to that key or contact your support personnel.
I went to the troubleshooting page and followed the instructions given. But when I go into the Permissions area and do as the instructions say, regardless whether I click Apply or OK, I get a Windows Security message saying - Unable to set new owner on Cur Ver, Access is denied.
This does this no matter how many times I repeat the instructions for troubleshooting. Can anyone recommend another possible solution? Thanks!

First be sure you run RegEdit as Administrator
Right click the key in the left hand pane ... select permissions from the context menu
In the permissions dialog, click the advanced button.
In the advanced security settings dialog switch to the Owner tab
I assume your usercode is a member of the local Administrators group
Click the Replace owner on subcontainers and objects box.
If Administrators is NOT the owner, select it in the change owner to box...press Apply...OK.
You are now back at the Permissions dialog box.
Select Administrators and give them Full control by selecting the Full Control checkbox in the Allow column...press Apply ... Ok
It has been a while since I have had to do this ... so I might be off a little on the steps.
The key is IGNORE any messages that say you don't have enought rights...
You must do each key... one at a time....:)
