What does this error mean?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

While installing a program, I got the following error:

Error 1402. Could not open key:
HKey_Local_Machine\......Current Vesion|Run. Verify that you have
sufficient access to that key, or contct your support personnel.

My computer (WinXP Pro-Sp2) is running very well. Your input would be
appreciated. Craig

Hi Craig,

Start/run regedit, expand to this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Right click on it, choose permissions. Your user account may not have
sufficient privileges to modify/add to this key. You will need to add it,
and this may require logging on with the administrator account to do so.

Hi Craig,

Make sure administrator had "full control", and also the account name being
used to install the software.
