Error writing to registry key during installation
2 posts · Closed
Good day,
I am trying to install NetWorx 5.5.5 on my work PC. At the end of the installation, I get the following message:
"Error writing to registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
RegSetValueEx failed; code 5.
Access is denied.
Click Retry to try again, Ignore to proceed anyway, or Abort to cancel installation."
I have right-clicked on the file to run as administrator but the same result. I am logged in as administrator and have full permission. I am currently running Windows 7 Professional with SP1.
Thanks,
Conrad
Most likely you have an antivirus or antimalware product that denies the installer's attempt to create a key for automatic startup.
You can simply ignore this error and create a startup shortcut manually if you want NetWorx to start with Windows.
