The Cure is Here for Win Validation

MS Help Desk gave me this link
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012

I ran this but what do I do with the information? When I try to run the tool
installaion, I get access is denied. I still can't get the installtion to
succeed. I also can't get the IE Cache removal tool to install. Do I have
bog problems?

Hi,

posted in another thread, the problem results from a previous MS WGA version
that sets permissions in the registry to values not accepted by Windows
Update.

You need to use regedit and navigate to these:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\LegitCheckControl.LegitCheck
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\LegitCheckControl.LegitCheck.1
Change the permissions and allow "Full Control" and "Read" for Administrators.

Windows Update (and the tool mentioned) will finally work again, until
somebody at MS messes it up again :-(

Hi,

You most likely have some registry permission issues on some registry
keys.

If you have Windows XP or Windows 2000:

Use subinacl.exe (a tool from Microsoft) to reset the registry
permissions:

Follow the procedure in "Step 1: Reset permissions" in this post:

I would have considered edit the reset.cmd file and removed the two
lines starting with "subinacl /subdirectories".
