Fwd: Cannot change permissions in RegEdit for FEATURE_ADDON_MANAGEMENT

Problem While installing Office 2007, setup cannot open registry key - problem with
writing to Registry Key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_ADDON_MANAGEMENT

 

And tried to change permission of this registry key and take ownership without luck.

Try subinacl to modify the permissions for the key in question. You
can download and install subinacl from Microsoft.

SubInACL (SubInACL.exe)

Now open a command prompt to use subinacl

Type the following:

cd "c:\program files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools"


subinacl /keyreg "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Interne t
Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_ADDON_MANAGEM ENT" /owner=YourUsername


subinacl /keyreg "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Interne t
Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_ADDON_MANAGEM ENT" /grant=YourUsername=f


subinacl /keyreg "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Interne t
Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_ADDON_MANAGEM ENT" /grant=SYSTEM=f


Exit the command prompt and try the install again.
