Registry key is locked

Not all data was successfully written to the registry. Some keys are open by the system or other processes.

How to change the registry key

What is the name of the key?  Most likely you don't have the permission on the key.

  • Cannot write to the registry key for Acrobat XI - Error 1406

    Hi all

    I have a problem regarding the installation of Adobe Acrobat XI 11.0.07 on a laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium OS.

    In short, I cannot complete the installation of Adobe Acrobat XI on this machine because Acrobat is not able to write the value to the registry key that is located here:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-> SOFTWARE-> Microsoft-> Internet Explorer-> toolbar.

    I tried to find solutions on the internet and found a Web page on the Adobe Forums, which is this: Error 1406.Could not write the value Adobe ARM - and it was not very useful, since the person requesting to solved his problem, but did not say how he did. So, I found this page using Acrobat, called Error 1402. Error 1406. Acrobat, Reader where I tried different solutions, but so far none of them have worked. What I did to remove all previous versions of Adobe Acrobat, Reader, Air and so on. In fact, I deleted all Adobe software, in which case one of these programs were to blame, but it did not work. Before that I have deleted all this software, I deleted Acrobat and Reader several times, but you have probably already found, it did not work. As it did not work, I tried the following solution using Acrobat, which was to 'Set permissions to their default values in the registry'. I followed the solution completely and does what he says, but it did not work. As a note, I must say that the type of registry key with that I have a problem called 'Locked', is a REG_DWORD type and the data value is (0). That this has something to do with it? I'm not too familiar with editing the registry. However, I tried to change the value of (1) and updating the registry, but it did not work...

    More information: However if I install the full version of Adobe Acrobat XI or the default installation, the same error pops up: Error 1406. I scan my system with my antivirus Bullguard software, to see if there is no virus. There are not. Also, I closed my antivirus software and turned off the firewall of Bullguard, but this was not successful either, I did a scan of my system using cmd as administrator (sfc/scannow) and the program found a few mistakes, he could not fix. As far as I can see, he finds three files .dll with errors. I have the document called sfcdetails.txt if it would be very useful for you.

    In addition, I don't know what to do. I paid for Adobe Acrobat on 23 January 2015 and I failed to make it work properly again, and I can't update the software, because I have a problem with the registry. I am able to use the software for that I had to use it to so far, but I would like to be able to use it for what it represents and update in order to avoid any lapse in security.

    Thank you. I hope that you have some ideas for my problem and will be able to help me!

    Best regards

    Hello Rahul,

    I found a way around the problem I described in the post. What I did to reinstall Adobe Acrobat XI and do not install the PDFMaker for Internet Explorer, and this solved the problem! And since I do not use Internet Explorer for PDF do, it's good for me, and now I am able to update to Acrobat. But for people who would like to use Internet Explorer for making PDF, it is of couse is not suitable... But for me it is. I still don't know how to solve this problem. It might have something to do with the fact that Adobe Acrobat XI is not able to support Internet Explorer 11, but this was written by a user on the Adobe forums, so I don't know if it's reliable. The "help Acrobat / compatible browsers and applications of PDFMaker Guide" immediately said that he made, but I'm not sure. Maybe it's a compatibility issue?

    in any case, thanks for the answer you gave - but I found myself

    Best regards

  • Why after an update my Norton 360 registry cleaning is a registry key not valid?

    This time was the in update for Adobe Reader, but I saw it with some other updates as well. I noticed this problem in my computer after that microsoft has passed to outlool.com. From there, I started to get the registry changes any time I open microsoft Explorer. This is the reason why I switched to firefox. My registry now remains unchanged any time I open Firefox, but it continues to be a problem sometimes when I run the updates. Normally, I check my record before and after the execution of the update. I contacted and complained to microsoft, but I never received a satisfactory answer.
    My computer runs on windows XP.

    See you soon

    Hey Buddy,

    The exact registry key knows only Toshiba. I can tell you that the FN keys are controlled by value added and Flash Cards Support utility package.

    These two tools can be downloaded from the official website of Toshiba for the FN keys you need an additional tool and it s not just a simple registry key.

    Y at - it a registry key to check if the current user can install a windows updates? also, what registry key that is used to verify whether a user is an administrator or not. Thank you...

    There is no need to check the registry keys to see if you can install updates or not.

    You just need to be connected to an administrator account to install the Windows updates.

    You can check if you are in an administrator account by trying taks simple administrattor. For example. Try to change the time system.

    If you can change the time, you are an administrator; no other.

  • Can I remove uninstall KB of registry keys?

    Hello:

    I am under some utilities to clean my PC. I used CCleaner and TI deleted windows xp update files (files stored in C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB###$\). However, if I run Wise Registry Cleaner, I find that the registry keys are still kept, I mean, for example, for KB971468:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Windows XP\SP4\KB971468]
    'Description '=' addition of seguridad para Windows XP (KB971468)'
    'InstalledDate' = ' 2010-02-13 "»
    '' =' SYSTEM InstalledBy.
    'UninstallCommand"="C:\\WINDOWS\\$NtUninstallKB971468$\\spuninst\\spuninst.exe '.
    'Type '=' Update '.

    As you can understand, UninstallCommand will point to an invalid folder (the "C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB971468$ has been removed by CCleaner).

    If I run Wise Registry Cleaner, I could remove the UninstallCommand key, but all the other info (InstalledBy, Type, Date, description, list of files), will be kept and seems foolish to keep incomplete information.

    So my question is: after I don't know I can delete the files to update, which is better?

    -Remove only UninstallCommand key (as suggested by Wise Registry Cleaner)

    -Remove the full entry of the tree (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Windows XP\SP4\KB #)

    -Do nothing, although invalid information are preserved.

    Thank you!

  • try to reinstall the software HP provides registry key there is no error

    Registry problem?

    Several days ago, I uninstalled Norton Internet Security 2011 and installed AVG Internet Security 2012 on my and my portable computers wife. Today, I discovered a problem on his requiring the uninstallation and reinstallation of our HP printing software. Siena (running Windows XP Media Center edition SP3) worked as expected. However, on mine (running Windows XP Pro SP3) reinstalling the HP software stopped and could not continue. The following message appears: "Windows Installer Registry - this registry key does not exist and is required for the installation to continue. Please make sure that the registry key exists and click Retry to continue the installation. "Registry key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\ {000c101c-0000-0000-c000-000000000046}.

    Two days ago I was able to install AVG so I suspect that something has happened with the HP software uninstalling.

    So, I need help and recommendations on a fix. I hope that the fix is not to charge the full operating system. If absolutely necessary I can do but this is not the preferred solution.

    First of all, the thread that I've referenced mentioned two key.  So when you checked, have you looked at a time

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\ {000C101C-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}

    and its main

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\ {000C101C-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} \ProgId

    If both of these keys have identical values as identified in the linked thread, run the reg file should have no effect one way or another.

    Do a system restore to a point before you changed antivirus applications is an effort worth it.  You can not, however, use system restore to uninstall and reinstall the applications.  Before your doing a system restore, uninstall AVG.  Do the system restore.  Then re-install Norton (or, better, don't reinstall Norton; in this case, make sure that you are not connected to Internet).  See this FAQ--> http://bertk.mvps.org/html/tips.html#5

    In fact, if you haven't already done so, you can run the tool to remove Norton, just to make sure that your problem is not caused by a few remaining remnant of Norton.  See https://www-secure.symantec.com/norton-support/jsp/help-solutions.jsp?lg=english&ct=united+states&docid=20080710133834EN&product=home&version=1&pvid=f-home

    Microsoft KB article you mention addresses issues to uninstall applications.  As a general rule, Norton products should be removed with the removal of the above link tool.  Installs the printer may be deleted by following the directions here or here.  The Windows Installer Cleanup utility can be very useful.  Unfortunately, Microsoft has removed this utility of its download servers because it sometimes more removed he was supposed to.  It can always be obtained from http://majorgeeks.com/Windows_Installer_CleanUp_Utility_d4459.html is a similar tool (free) Revo Uninstaller.

    Good luck.
