Error 1402 Installing VS 2005

am getting the error "Error 1402 could not open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Software\Classes\Interface\... \ProxyStubClsId. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.

My UserId has admin rights so I don't think that access rights are the problem.

Logged under the local admin account and tried again. Same error.

Someone posted that there could be installation problems if the organization name was left blank during installation. This was in fact the case. Changed this using regedit, but this didn't help. Same error.

Please help!

Error 1402 Installing VS 2005

    Solution:

    Open regedit, and navigate to HKLM\Software\Classes

    Delete all registry keys for version msxml2.[xxx].4

    Reinstall MSXML here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx FamilyID=3144b72b-b4f2-46da-b4b6-c5d7485f2b42&DisplayLang=en#filelist

    And you can install the applications that depend on it. The XML installer has the same issue; delete these keys and reinstall and it will fix the problems.

    I have trying to install the virtual server 2005R2 and its giving me the same error 1402. I did almost everything in the registry. Still the same error message. I also tried to installed as a local administrator. NO avail. Plz help

    Hi,

    I just saw the same error message when trying to install from the VSR2 disk MS just sent me. I never tried installing a vitual server before. I went with all the pre-sellected options and got the 1402 error both times I tried. This forum thread was the first place I found for a reference.

    I'm installing on a W2K3 Enterprise SP1 host (my test/dev system). Just the other day I posted some feedback to MS that may relate to this issue. I had tried to do a test restore from MS Backup utility and was stimied at the DSRM login. After a number of tries, I figured out that it could have to do with the fact that I changed the name of the Admin account AFTER promoting the server to a DC. I changed the name back to Administrator, and the restore works as it should (which restored my changed name account too).

    If you changed the admin account after a promotion, it may be that the VS install is not accepting the changed admin account.

    If this was the case with your system, please let me know. Also, please post the exact steps you took with regedit for your workaround.

    Thanks BRN..

    This problem is under windows 32.

    I managed to get it working by assigning full rights to SYSTEM, ADMINISTRATOR and myown account to the ... class/interface/ subtree. I remained puzzled as to why this wouldn't work under the local adminisitrator account.

    Did you get any errors or problems changing that key using regedit

    Is this a 64 bit machine
