Windows Defender scan hangs at registry key hklm\software\classes\pcast

I am having trouble with a persistent problem that is causing scanners to fail on my system, a Dell Dimension 2300 (P4 1.8Gz) running Windows xp Home Edition.
The symptoms are that the scanner stops at a particular registry entry and, while it appears to keep scanning, (i.e. lights move), seems to get stuck in some kind of loop and can't move on. I can't access task manager from there, and when I move the mouse or attempt to escape my system freezes and I have to force a manual shutdown and reboot.
Windows Live OneCare and Windows Defender both stop at the same location in the scan: hklm\software\classes\pcast. I looked into this and determined that this is an apple entry.
When I navigate to the hklm\software\classes\pcast key there are 2 folders:
DefaultIcon & Shell.
DefaultIcon:
Name: (ab)Default Type: Reg_SZ Data: C:\ProgramFiles\iTunes\ITunes.exe
Shell: (ab)Default Type: Reg_SZ
Open: (ab)Default Reg_SZ
Command: (ab)Default Reg_SZ
C:\ProgramFiles\iTunes\iTunes.exe/url"%1"
If anyone can tell me whether this is causing the Defender scan to loop & then seize in some way or what I need to do to get the scanner to complete a scan, or even if this looks like there's something wrong, I'd greatly appreciate the input.
I've tried excluding itunes from the scan but this doesn't work. I want my ipod to continue to work on this computer so don't want to disable a registry entry without knowing it won't cripple my itunes.
Thanks in advance for any ideas that will help here.

Is your User account on Vista also an Administrator account? Do you have User Access Control enabled? Certain registry & file access tasks which could be achieved by installers in earlier versions of Windows may now a different level of privilege or the use of different calls to the operating system. If you log into your computer as an Administrator, disable User Access Control, grant yourself & the SYSTEM account full access to HKLM in the registry and also to your Music folder then you should be able to complete the install.

Could not open key HKLM\softwar\classes\pcast.

Every time I try to install iTunes I get the error in the title.
I have tried to access the key in my registry editor and I get told I do not have permission to access the key, I am the only user on my laptop and hence the administrator.
I have tried uninstalling iTunes to see if this helps, but alas no luck, I am now without iTunes.
I have ran CCleaner utility to try and clean up the registry but it does not detect any error in the specified key, can anyone help me please.
Mark

have you tried using regedit that seems to remove anything despite vista assuming you are on Vista
CC cleaner will not remove all traces of a program only orphaned keys
personally I find remove program and any traces left in program files
then manually remove all traces of itunes from registry with regedit
but only try this if you know what you are doing

Updating registry key 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE/KEY_OraDb11g_home

We are installing 11gR2 32 bit on Window XP Professional . During the installation its stucked on given below operation (setup files operation ). I have tried multiple time , but every time it is stucking on same point (setup files operation -- updating registry key 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE/KEY_OraDb11g_home1') . Not able to install 11gR2 on Window XP.

This appears to be a download or extraction corruption.
-Ensure the download size of the files are correct.
-Don't use Windows native extraction to unzip the files, use something like winzip or 7-zip.
-Ensure that the installation files are stored locally in a directory without spaces, such as c:\temp
-Both zip files need to be extracted into the same directory. If you end up with more that one folder (ie: database), then you did the extraction improperly.
-Do not install into c:\Program Files, install into a directory without spaces such as c:\oracle.
Possible permissions issue:
-Ensure you are an administrator on the system.
-Ensure that the Workstation or Server services are running.
-Turn-off system/virus protection
-Do the installation from the console, not remote desktop.
-Ensure failed installations are properly removed/cleaned.
- run from the command prompt the deinstall utility (Oracle De-install Utility (11.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows (32-bit))

Cannot open Registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SAP\NSP\Environment ?

Hello, after installing the NetWeaver 7.01 Trial on my Windows Server 2008 I get this error:
Cannot open Registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SAP\NSP\Environment (Error 2 ENOENT: No such file or directory OR: The system cannot find the file specified.) [ntservmgr.cpp 306]
Starting the server does not work, it goes from grey to yellow to grey again and I think the above error is the cause. Whats the problem?
Thanks !

Thank you Srikishan, I reviewed the link you provided, it solves uninstall and re-install problem for one laptop, however, we have many laptops, can't do manual registry clean up for all of them. The installation was done by mobile client silent script, needs to be successful the very first time.
This error only happens with the very 1st installation, means fresh OS that never had any SAP, I am wondering what is the installation program trying to change in the registry, does it have to go that deep into registry? and what other components are affected by the error "Can't open registry key "HKEY_LOCAL-MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SAP\SAP DBTECH"?
From the log, the command ran before the error was "CALL: SDBINST -b -t sapmc -f C:\Program Files\SAP Netweaver Mobile Client\MaxDB Files\sdb_MIDB_sample.cfg", is it a sample program and do we need it? is this caused the error?
for remaining errors(many of them), there is one very odd
"SYS: "c:\sdb\programs\runtime\7300\bin\irconf.exe" -i -p "c:\sdb\programs\runtime\7300": Error : Cannot find any installed version of CPC Driver.."
What caused it?
Thanks,
Grace

is the error message I recieve when attempting to install the latest version of quicktime. I attempted to delete the key and other quicktime keys from the registry but I recieve this error message:
'Cannot delete Quicktime.Quicktime: Error Deleting Key'. I then tried to export the key and recieved this: 'selected branch does not exist. Make sure correct path is given.'
Any help with a solution would be greatly appreciated

What I would do is go to registry key and try deleting it. If it does not delete, right click on it and choose permissions. Permissions need to be allowed for at least Administrator and System. If the key does not delete, move on to the next one that is asscociated with QuickTime and delete it, and go on deleting all the keys that are QuickTime related. The one that would not delete may delete after deleting the others.
Let me try to explain this the best I can. I am not a expert in the registry, but know enough to get in and out deleting a programs keys without having the computer become completely unfunctional. There are also books on it.
For example when I delete a program I also go into the registry and remove it, just something I do. Because after removing a program thru the add\remove program control panel and start>search>for all files and folders, there are still registry entrees.
When I start deleting keys in the registry from a program I'll normally run into one that won't delete, even after giving it permissions. So I'll by pass it and go on to the next key, related to the program. The one that wouldn't delete will come up again and end up deleting. So I seem to think that some of the keys inter-react with one another. Because the one that initially wouldn't delete now does after deleting the others, and sometimes giving permissions again.
If you want to delete all keys asscociated with a program. You can go to the Edit menu in the registry, choose Find, type in the name of the program and hit the Enter key on the keyboard. When the key shows up hit Delete on the keyboard. To get to the next key associated with the program, hit the F3 key on the keyboard and the next one will appear. This can get confusing because a registry entree can show up as a series of numbers, so your counting on the registry editor that, that key is asscociated with the program. As long as you are deleting keys that are associated with a program you are OK, if you delete something in the registry that you are not sure of, that is where you'll get in trouble.
You should try going to the path giving here to the registry. HKEYLOCALMACHINESoftwareClasses and try deleting those keys that are QuickTime and see if it resolves the problem.

Cisco Jabber for Windows 9.2.6 (setting registry keys)

All,
I would like to be able to set the general option for Cisco Jabber to force the client to, "Start Ciso Jabber when my computer starts" option. Is this a registry setting I can force? I'd also like to force calendar intergration with Microsoft Outlook by default as well. We are using SCCM to push Jabber via RAP. Are these registry settings HKCU or HKLM? Thanks Phillip

Hi Phillip,
you may find more details on Installation and Configuration guide how to set Start_Client_On_Start_OS parameter in jabberConfig file.
Keep in mind that values set in JabberlocalConfig.xml have presedence over value set in jabberConfig.xml file from TFTP server.

Get "Invalid root in registry key" when call RegWrite function on Wow6432Node

My environment is Windows 2008 R2. I have the local administrator permission and the UAC is turned off.
There is a 32bit application installed on the server and I need to update its registry key value "AuditTime" under this node
HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Myapplication
I simply run this just two line vbscript
Set Wshell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Wshell.RegWrite "HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Myapplication\AuditTime",Now(),"REG_SZ"
But I got error as following:
Invalid root in registry key "HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Myapplication\AuditTime"
Then I updated the script to perform a little test. The script is like this
Set Wshell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Wshell.RegWrite "HKLM\Software\Myapplication2\AuditTime",Now(),"REG_SZ"
Wshell.RegWrite "HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Myapplication\AuditTime",Now(),"REG_SZ"
The first RegWrite is successfully run and I got the value written as expected however the second RegWrite failed again with the same error.
So it is clear nothing to do with permission since I have full access. I can create the values under both hive in Regedit.exe.
A little further testing shows the Invalid root error just showing when I tried to update valued under HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node hive.
Any suggestion?

On Windows Server 2008R2 the VBScript works with NO errors and creates the key as expected.
PS C:\scripts> .\regtest.vbs
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.8
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
PS C:\scripts> dir HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\Myapplication*
Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node
SKC VC Name Property
0 1 Myapplication32 {AuditTime}
0 1 Myapplication6432 {AuditTime}
PS C:\scripts> dir HKLM:\Software\My*
Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software
SKC VC Name Property
0 1 Myapplication32 {AuditTime}
0 1 Myapplication6432 {AuditTime}
PS C:\scripts> [environment]::Is64BitProcess
False
The vbscript used for both keys is as follows:
Set Wshell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Wshell.RegWrite "HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Myapplication32\AuditTime",Now(),"REG_SZ"
Run from either system it creates a shared key under WoW6432Node on both systems. When created from the 32 bit system the key also shows up under HKLM:\Software. It does not show on the 64 bit system under HKLM:\Software. Youust explicitly
crate the keys under that key. 64 bit process look at both. 32 bit processes only see HKLM:\Software which is why we create the shared keys under WoW6432. The 32 bit systems will work as they always have but 64 bit process MUST look under
WoW6332Node if it wants to see a 32 bit process registry settings. We can als sync the keys if needed.
You do not need to create two sets of keys for one process. The system can do this for you.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Bug with custom edm mapping without registry key

Hello!
I have use custom mapping for boolean type by standart scheme:
<oracle.dataaccess.client>
<settings>
<add name="bool" value="edmmapping number(1,0)" />
</settings>
</oracle.dataaccess.client>
But this is not working if the registry key "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Oracle\ODP.NET" doesn't exists.
With reflector I found the reason in your internal class Oracle.DataAccess.ClientRegAndConfigRdr
static RegAndConfigRdr()
RegistryKey registryKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\\Oracle\\ODP.NET");
if (registryKey == null)
return;
string[] subKeyNames = registryKey.GetSubKeyNames();
string assemblyVersion = OracleInit.GetAssemblyVersion();
for (int index = 0; index < subKeyNames.Length; ++index)
if (assemblyVersion == subKeyNames[index])
RegAndConfigRdr.odpNetKey = registryKey.OpenSubKey(assemblyVersion);
RegAndConfigRdr.RetrieveInfoFromConfig(RegAndConfigRdr.m_configSection, ref RegAndConfigRdr.s_storedProcInformation, false);
RegAndConfigRdr.ValidateEdmMapping();
I think you must correct this condition. Because of reading for mapping types is located at RegAndConfigRdr.RetrieveInfoFromConfig method.
WBR, Alexandre

I will soon take a look at it, and update this thread with feedback.
Cheers,

Jean-Francois-
There's no built-in mapping to support this. One problem with it is that
if the user mutates the Map so that the file name and the file object's
name do not match, then that couldn't be stored to the datastore, so
data fidelity fails in some cases.
However, given that you are willing to accept that, you might be able to
do this by using a "map" mapping, setting both the "key-column" and
"value-column" to the same column, and then setting an externalizer
on the "value-column" that stores the File object as a String. I don't
know if this has ever been tested, but I don't see any reason why it
wouldn't work.
You can read more about externalizers at:>
http://docs.solarmetric.com/manual.html#ref_guide_mapping_fieldmapping_extern
If you do try it, I'd be interested in hearing the results of this
mapping experiment.

Hi all,
is it possible to use a map mapping without a join table ?
I face this issue for mapping a relation between two classes using a UML
qualifier. Imagine, for instance, a SwPackage made of several File each
having a unique name.
The implementation model would be a SwPackage class with a Map using file
name as key and File instance as value.
The 'natural' data model would be
- SW_PACKAGE table with POID surrogate key
- FILE table with its own POID, a SW_PACKAGE_POID foreign key and a NAME
column
Kodo does not provide a direct mapping for this, as it would require a
SW_PACKAGE_HAS_FILE join table holding the 'name' value.
I am reluctant changing so much my data model to a 'non-natural' form.
I am currently thinking of using a Set in my SwPackage class for Kodo
mapping, and programmatically replicating its content in a Map.
Is there a more clever way to handle this with Kodo ? Maybe with a custom
mapping ?

Itunes wont install, access to registry key denied. key listed in message

I tried opening regedit and changing the permissions to allow access, went to dozens of other forums, and nothing has worked so far. Anyone know how to fix this?
I get about 2 bars into the installation, right after it says copying new files.
then it says:
Could not open registry key:
hkeylocalmachine\software\classes\interface\{915DA835-02FE-4953-92FA-624BDF5D85ab}\proxys tubclsid
Please check to see if you have permission to access these files.
I should have permission i'm the owner account and the only account on it. I can install any other program fine.
Please help me with this, I would really appreciate it.

I figured it out. I just ran the installer after deleting each registry key it said i didn't have access to (about 6) and then it ran through like a clean install and rewrote the registry files

Startup Framework for EP6 SP2 - Windows 2003 - registry key error

Hi,
I've installed the Startup Framework and it all works from the MMC but if I try to start the SAP<SID>_00 NT Service, the portal server/dispatcher/state controller do not start up and I get the following message in the Event Viewer:
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( SAPCCD_00 ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: Cannot open Registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SAP\CCD\Environment (Error 2 ENOENT*: No such file or directory OR: The system cannot find the file specified. ) [ntservmgr.cpp 264].
The registry key it refers to doesn't exist. I followed the pdf guide & have noticed that it says Windows 2000/XP - I'm trying to install it on Windows 2003, could this be the problem and is there a workaround?
It's a problem because when the server gets restarted, the portal doesn't come up.
Many thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Jane

OK, manually added registry key - which got rid of registry error message but still wasn't starting portal.
Then set Autostart=1 in start_<##>.pfl - now works.
Thanks,
Jane
