I encounter the error (can not open key: HKEY_local_machine32\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run...) when installing iTunes and QuickTime on my laptop (Windows 7, 64-bit operating system). Tried to change the registry key to make sure that I had (full control) in the registry key main (HKEY_local_machine\software) and all of its subkeys (including \Wow6432Node and \Microsoft) and restarted my PC. But I still get the same error message. What Miss me?
ORiginal title: HKEY_local_machine32\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run
I tried all the advice support online from Apple without success. Then I called Apple support and they want to charge me a fixed fee of $19.95 to Troubleshoot modifying registry keys with me. I refused, and this is why I post this question on the Microsoft Forum.
Did you follow this advice?
"Did you download and save iTunes on the desktop > then right click > select run as administrator to install.
And do you have displayed in iTunes community that is free to do?

Error 1402 could not open key HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft Windows\Current Version\Run\Optional Components\IMAIL. Check that you have sufficient access to that key or contact your support team.
We have solved this problem by granting explicit permission at the same time "domain users" and "domain administrators" you can plug in "domain" in the field and the search for the users and select them. But this solved the problem for us.

Hello dutchb,
The error, "another installation is in progress and must be completed first" can be attributed to the InProgress key found in the registry at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CurrentVersion\Installer\InProgressChange the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.
I suggest that first make a backup of the registry or a system restore point. Then go to control panel, administrative tools, Services. Do scroll down and find the Windows Installer service, and set the start at the stop State. Delete the registry key to the location above.
Now, you shouldn't get the installation in the progress message when you try to uninstall programs.
I hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Marilyn
