| | Registry keys that I can't delete can't take control of etc. I'm trying to install Acrobat professional so I can create PDF files but I keep hitting some registry key that stops the install. I took control of all the ones I could find and then the install goes further but still finds another key that is locked or I don't have permission to. How can I either reset the Vista registry so that the program can install or a way for me to take control of the non conforming keys. Thanks for any help, Rich |

I've drilled down to the registry key in question and I can't delete it or take ownership it just gives an error.

| Vista Bussiness x64 PL | Re: Registry keys that I can't delete can't take control of etc. Quote: but still finds another key that is locked or I don't have permission to Unpack file psexec.exe and place it in C:\Windows\System32 next run cmd.exe with administrative previlliges (right click on it as admin if you use UAC) and in cmd.exe type: psexec -s -i -d regedit.exe -this command allow you run regedit.exe from a SYSTEM account (not from your account) so remember if you want remove any key the owner of this key should be SYSTEM now and full control for him for this key also.
