Could not create registry key on installation #37

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
During installation on Windows 7 x64, Growl for Windows 2.0.6.1 throws an error 
"Could not create key: 
HKEY_USERS32\S-1-5-21-4220703842-3955432285-3059779225-1000\Software\Classes"

I know this is a few weeks old, but was there any additional information in the 
Event Log or other error messaging displayed? Did the installation complete 
successfully anyway (did Growl install?) or did it fail and rollback?

I have installed GfW on lots of Win7/64 machines and never seen that error. 
Growl itself does not try to create any registry keys in that location, so I am 
not sure what the root cause could be.

It failed and rolled back. In the event log it says roughly the same thing:

Product: Growl for Windows -- Error 1401. Could not create key: 
HKEY_USERS32\S-1-5-21-4220703842-3955432285-3059779225-1000\Software\Classes.  
System error 5.  Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact 
your support personnel.

I've received this error message during installation as well. The particular 
S*** (SID isn't it?) string is different, v2.0.6.1 windows 7x64 sp1. I'm not 
certain what the problem might be, if you have any questions feel free to ask. 
I'll answer them to the best of my knowledge.

Googling doesnt turn up much, but in almost every case, the solution was to 
make the installer install for 'Everyone' instead of 'Just Me'. As such, I have 
adjusted the installer code and hopefully the issue will go away with the 2.0.8 
version.
