It worked.
The instructions in
http://blogs.technet.com/askperf/arc...ler-issue.aspx
pointed me to procmon.exe, which noted ACCESS DENIED on the Registry for
msiexec.exe. When I set SYSTEM permission to Full in HKCR/Installer, it
didn't work. Trying again produced an ACCESS DENIED on HKCR/. When I set
HKCR/, it worked.
It's unnerving having to fool with system control bits at this level.
It's a wonder that this stuff works at all. procmon managed to produce 13
SUCCESS events, then it started battling with INVALID DEVICE REQUEST, NAME
NOT FOUND, BUFFER OVERFLOW, INVALID PARAMETER, CANNOT DELETE, and others.
Out of 68389 events, 4506 were not SUCCESS.
(After finishing the installation, a window popped up telling me an update
was available. It's the same update I just installed! Where does it end?)
Thanks very much!
