Re: Error message when trying to install Adobe reader

Checked this?

Error "1402: Could not open key ..." or "1406: Could not write...to key..." when you install Acrobat or Adobe Reader (6.x-8.0 or 3D on Windows):
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/view...9137&sliceId=2

Note that the above article hasn't been updated for Vista, but the underlying cause (registry permissions) is the same.

Re: Error message when trying to install Adobe reader

Do you have UAC turend off?

I got these errors with UAC off. After I turned it back on, Adobe reader
installed without errors.
