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.

  • Install Error: Could Not Write Value to key

    Could not write value to key \IPodManager.IPodManagerUI.1\CLSID verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
    I am running as an administrator. Please help?

    For "Could not open key/write value" errors when reinstalling try b noir's user tip:
    "Could not open key: UNKNOWN\Components\[LongStringOfLettersAndNumbers]\

    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.

    Try runnning ldd -v <program>
    This will list all the libraries that you will need to have in your library path, I am not a programmer, I am assuming that libNodeManager.so might be calling another library(ies) which you cannot find.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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)?
