Hi,

It seems I have pinpointed the reason for this error. Windows uses ACLs (Access Control Lists) to protect files and components so that they can only be accessed if the user has permission. You can read more about it @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Access_control_list. There is a permission that is denying LRO access to one of the registry keys and thus causing the error. If you would like to try and manually fix this, I have provided instructions below. However, I will see if I can I create a fix for this so all the users of LRO wont be affected by this.

1. Go Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Run -> Enter "regedit" and OK
2. Navigate to each of the "registry keys" below
3. Right click on the registry key and go to "Permissions..."
4. Under "Group or user names:" check and see if there is "Administrators". If there is, click on it and make sure "Full Control" is set to allow below.
5. Otherwise, go to "Add..." and in the text box enter "Administrators" and click OK.

Registry keys to check:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SECURITY
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SAM
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Schema
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMPONENTS
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-19
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-20
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-3526181780-760201759-2376863416-1000 (probably different)
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-3526181780-760201759-2376863416-1000_Classes (probably different)

Hello,

I am also getting this problem with the exact same error. I have tried the permissions settings you suggest above but I am still receiving the error. All help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
