I think I'm having similar problems here...I've got XP SP3 with windows media center 2005 on a relatively new machine, I am the sole user. I uninstalled reader 6.0.1 and 6.0.2 update (update uninstalled first), and attempted the reader 8 install. It hangs up on a key in HKLM\software\classes\clsid\{........}\programmable, hangs on same key every time. I went into regedit and tried to change permissions under each folder in that key, and none would allow me to check both child key boxes in the "advanced" tab. It returns a box message that says "Registry Editor could not change this key, or some of its subkeys."

Also of note- I've got a ton of groups or user names in my permissions box in regedit....these are what i see that have varying levels of permissions-
-Aaron
-Administrator
-CREATOR OWNER
-Everyone
-Power Users
-Restricted
-System
-Users

Is there only one that should have the full access permission in that key? I think I understand the problem, I just don't have the right group above with full access to the key permissions. I'd appreciate any advice.
