Error 1406 in Vista 32

[Miguel]

Error 1406.Setup cannot write the value to registry key
\CLSID\{F0291081-E87C-4E07-97DA-A0A03761E586}. Verify that you have
sufficient permissions to access the registry or contact Microsoft Product
Services for assistance.

This is the Setup error I keep getting when trying to install Microsoft
Office Pro Plus 2007. I have set the permissions in the appropriate reg
fields to no avail. Any help would be kindly accepted.

Hi

If you are running 32bit Windows OS, then create a system restore point and
then try running following script after installing SUBINCAL
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e8ba3e56-d8fe-4a91-93cf-ed6985e3927b
)

# Ensure that there are no registry cleaner/Anti-virus running, before you
start this script.

1. Make a backup of your registry.
2. Download and install subinacl.exe.
3. Copy the text below into a text file called reset.cmd and run reset.cmd
with administrative rights (it may take a LONG time):

cd /d "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools"
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=f
/grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=administrators=f
/grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=administrators=f
/grant=system=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=administrators=f
/grant=system=f
subinacl /subdirectories %windir%*.* /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf /db defltbase.sdb
/verbose

4. Restart the computer and then try installing office 2007.

Regards,

Sunny

Hi,
Did this fix your problem or did you find a fix?
I had similar problems.
