I had the same issue as everyone else seemed to have, but was able to
successfully resolve it by setting the permissions on certain keys in the
registry.
There is a file in your system folder called "updspapi.log".
In this file I found multiple Error 5: Access Denied entires for keys in the
registry.
I had to reboot my machine four different times. Basically, each time I
tried to install, it came up with a new error. That's when I made the change
in the registry. I then rebooted my machine and try the install again. If
it still did not succeed, I would check the "updspapi.log" file for the next
error and change the permissions on the next registry key.
Mine were .tif, .tiff .hta and htafile. These are all found in the
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT folder in the registry.
I had to right click on them and change the permissions to Full Access for
the Administrator group. It also helped that I was logged in as a user from
the administrator group.
I have seen multiple different keys from various people so don't count on
someone else's explanation. You must see which keys are giving YOU the issue
and change the permissions for ONLY those keys.
It seems as if those keys need Full Access for the Administrator group
because they are adding entries to those keys.
Hopefully a Microsoft rep will see this post and confirm what I am saying.
It would be nice if the IE Blog would be updated as well since the keys that
are listed there are not the same for everyone else's situation.
Good luck!
Jim
