Cause

The user under which you are installing the product does not have sufficient rights to access the Components registry key.

Solution

There are two possible solutions:

• Attempt to install the product under a different user that has sufficient rights. For example, under the default local administrator;
• Or correct the rights manually:

  (!) The solution involves editing Windows Registry. Please back up your Windows Registry prior to applying the solution.

  • Open the registry (Start-Run -> regedit);
  • Navigate to:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\<Your User SID>\Components 

    where <Your User SID> is the SID of the user under which the installation is attempted. It can be found by searching the MSI log for UserSID. For example UserSID = S-1-5-21-3488340926-2396348757-3477327232-1142.

  • Right-click on the Components key and select Permissions:

    

  • Select Advanced:

    

  • Check the Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object:

    

  • Open the Owner tab, select Administrators, check Replace owner on subcontainers and objects and press OK:

    

  Reattempt the installation
