LR 3. Upgrade "Could not write to designated folder"

If you get this message as soon as you begin the upgrade process, it means you'll have to simplify the path to the extracted setup files.
You'll indicate the path in the first screen you see after begining to run the file you've downloaded from Adobe.
I kept making the path easier and easier for setup to follow until I finally got to:
C:/Unpack
(You don't want to use just "C".)
Once the LR 3+ upgrade is installed, you can delete the C:/Unpack folder.
Hope this helps.

After upgrading my HP slate7 to KitKat version, I could not write on SD card. What is the solution for this????

Could not write value APSDaemon to \Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run when trying to install itunes, could not write value APSDaemon to \Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run when trying to install itunes

I treiws upgrading my itunes to the b=newest version and I got the following error:
"could not write value APSDaemon to \Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run. Verrify that you have sufficent access to that key or contact you support personnel"
I then went to that key and changed the permissions on it so that for Everyone - it was Full Controll instead of limited and I also changed the permissions for my administrative account which also didn't have full control. I tried to go back to the Itunes installer but it still wouldn't let me continue the process.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Could not write installation information to disk

I have a mid 2012 mac mini , when i try to upgrade to yosemite from mountain lion , by using the .app , it says "could not write installation information to disk contact apple care". I've tried installing from the boot up menu using a bootable usb drive , it gives me an error. What should I do ?

Be sure you have at least 20 GBs of free space on your hard drive. Do the following:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion or Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
You may now try the Yosemite installer again. If you still get the error then you may have a defective installer or the drive needs to be reformatted.

Could not write value vmware-tray.exe to key MSI error on Windows 8.1

Hello All,
I posted the following question to Microsoft guys, but the fellow at Microsoft support was 1000% sure that this issue is related to VMWare only. I am hoping to get some assistance at least here.
My question as below:-
Hello All,
NOTE: I have gone through many forums already and have followed all the steps recommended by different experts there. NO AVAIL! Hence, I am posting this here.
I have been trying to install VMWare Workstation 11 on my Windows 8.1 and I keep getting the MSI Error which says, "could not write value vmware-tray.exe to key \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows'CurrentVersion\Run. Verify
that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel"
This is really very frustrating now. And I am beginning to hate Windows 8.1 :-(
I have disabled Anit-Virus, Windows Defender, Firewall ...everything possible. Tried to run the program as "Administrator", changed the permissions of all the HKEY related stuff under 'regedit" to "Full Control"....
I did everything that was asked. Nothing happens. I keep getting the same error.
Please Please help!!!!

You posted this in the Windows 8.1 Hyper-V group.
So I will ask, is Hyper-V involved? Do you have the Hyper-V role installed?
And again I ask, have you posted in the VMware forums? I ask because if this is a known issue, they would be the people that would know the reason and resolution (since it is their software package - regardless of the reason)
And, have you tried manually adding a registry setting to the registry path (without elevating your privileges)?

i have tried to install ms sql 2012 on windows 8.1 pro 64 bit but it got failed due to the following error 1406 Could not write value to key \SOFTWARE. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel..

this forum and other.

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.

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?

Please help with an error "could not write value key \Software\classes\iTune.wav.....

I have windows 7 with plenty of memory and storage capacity. When accessing iTunes I had an error message to uninstall and reinstall. I have uninstalled but when trying to reinstall I get the error message "could not write value key \software\classes\iTune.wav. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key or contact your support personnel" I don't understand what this means, can anyone help please?

For "Could not open key/write value" errors when reinstalling try b noir's user tip:
"Could not open key: UNKNOWN\Components\[LongStringOfLettersAndNumbers]\
[LongStringOfLettersAndNumbers]" error messages when installing iTunes for Windows.
The technique can be applied to the branch of the registry mentioned in the error message.

Could not write to file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\ActiveX\AcroPDF.NOR. ?

Hi, I get this message (loosely translated from Swedish):
"Could not write to file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\ActiveX\AcroPDF.NOR.
Confirm that you have access to this file"
when I try to install Acrobat standard 7.0, and after several "retry" I cannot finish the installation.
Does anyone know why?
Thank you,
MIa

Appears that you are on a Win7, 64-bit machine. AA 7 has an issue with activation since the server no longer exists for AA 7. There is a separate install at Adobe to address this issue that might solve the problem temporarily (Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3). Even if you get AA 7 installed on Win7, you will have to do workarounds to make it work. Both the print driver (Adobe PDF) and AcroTray.exe fail on Win7 and they require workarounds to be able to even use AA 7. It is strongly recommended that you get AA XI at this point.

RSEOUT00 failing with "Could not write IDoc to file" TPRI_DEF table

Outbound Idoc processing fail with the following error:
Could not write IDoc to file
Message no. EA299
Diagnosis
The system could not convert data from the data record 000027.
Procedure
Check the port definition of the receiver port.
You can use the "Continue despite conversion error" option to write the IDoc to the file from transaction BD87 with replacement characters.
Short dump indicate that there is a some junk character in th e TPRI_DEF for program SAPLSPRI that it is unable to convert.
I have set the flag on the we21 port to "continue despite conversion error" and that seem to help, but I would like to figure out how to fix the junk characters from coming through from the TPRI_DEF table.
This is what shows up in the short dump after RSEOUT00 is run.
TPRI_DEF                                   / /       : :     00002932

I do not see any entries for area "GV" in the table, there is one for "GF". which has no user assigned to it and it is of key version 21.
I am not sure if the table is supposed to have an entry with no user assigned?
thank you for looking at this issue .

SQL Server Management Tools - Could not write value to key \SOFTWARE. Error code: 1406

Detailed Results:
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.

SQL Server Installation failing saying 'Could not write values to registry key \SOFTWARE. Verify you have sufficient access or contact support personnel'

Hi,
I am trying to install SQL server 2012/SQL Server 2014 and I constantly keep getting this error and the Management Tools fails to install.
'Could not write values to registry key \SOFTWARE. Verify you have sufficient access or contact support personnel'
Tried installing even SQL Server 2008 and still get the same error.
Below is the log i get from C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\Log\20140705_151943\sql_ssms_Cpu64_1.log

From above it seems client tools component is missing from Installation or may be problem with Windows installer but I guess this is not issue with windows installer . Can you re download SQL Server package and run again.
Edit: For further analysis can you also post log from below location on skydrive
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\Log\20140709_104804\sql_ssms_Cpu64_1.log
