Setting Registry Permissions causes install to fail

[DrewMann]

I edited by registry settings to allow full access for specific account. I recompiled my BasicMSI project and now the install fails with message cannot find [machine\company\program].

It fails for each of the registries i create and set permissions on. If i remove the permission settings all is well again. This is on 64bit machine install. Is this a bug or is there another way to set registry permissions?

Thanks
Drew

The error message recieved when i run MSI in full UI mode is

error 27555. Error attempting to apply permissions to object 'MACHINE\CompanyName\AppName'. System error: the system cannot find the file specified. (2)

Please see this thread.

Thank you for the follow up. In meantime I have managed to set registries using .NET 4 in my setup utility (exe) which I launch during install. Even then that was difficult since installer is running 32bit so appreciate the problems.

Cheers

In Installshield 2012 Spring also I'm getting below error while trying to set registry permission.

InstallShield 3:29:13: Error returned from ApplyPermissionsItems: 0x00000643

Any help would be appreciated.
