i had followed this guide Unable to delete registry keys
but i still cannot delete a registry key/subfolders that i need.
i am trying to install an ESET Nod32 AV upgrade but i cannot overwrite its registry keys in the local machine i believe, therefore it doesnt install correctly.
i dont know what else to try.
any ideas?

Is this the process you have been following?

Re: STILL Unable to delete registry keys.
So you entered Safe Mode, ran regedit, found the three keys, and they wouldn't delete?

Re: STILL Unable to delete registry keys.
What happens specifically when you try?
Do you get a popup describing the problem or error?
Any additional info about the situation would be helpful.

Re: STILL Unable to delete registry keys.
When you opened regedit did you right-click and choose Run as Administrator?

Some of the posts on ESET forums suggest using Revo Uninstaller.

Re: STILL Unable to delete registry keys.
This seems to be a known issue with ESET.
Maybe give Revo a try. It's freeware.
