    Could a person just change permissions on all the HKEY main folders?

    I am not as computer literate I guess. I am having this exact issue and don't understand the fix listed above. Could someone break that down for me?
    Thanks!

    I tried this fix and I can only get to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/INSTALLER... there is no COMPONENTS folder within the INSTALLER folder. The folders are named with long strings of letter/number combinations. Any help?
