0x3f5 Error when trying to install IE7

Can anyone help me find a way to get round this error? It appears from log
file that there is a key that it can't access
- Unwriteable key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\MAIN\FeatureControl\FEATURE_RESTRICT_FILE DOWNLOAD
I don't seem to be able to change the permissions for this key either?

The subkey you posted inherits Permissions from
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE
My system shows no such subkey so it must have been created by 3rd party
security related software.
Is Spybot or a similar program installed ? That's where you should be
looking for a solution for this issue, Braveheart.
