ERROR 1406 Office Pro 2007 installation Vista Home Premium

This error came up 6 times during the installation: Setup cannot write the
value to the registry

CLSID\F0291081-E876C-4E07-97DA-A0A03761E586
CLSID\13DE4A42-8D21-4C8E-BF9C-8F69CB068FCA
SKETCH.OBJ.SKETchInk
SKETCH.OBJ.SKETchInk.1
HWXInk.E-Ink
HWXInk.E.Ink.1

I clicked Ignore for each of them and continued with the installation.

Everything 'seems' to work, however, I have not really tried actually
working with the programs yet as I am in the process of downloading mucho
updates.

Does anyone know what problems this error causes or how to successfully get
these registry entries written?

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Yeah, well if you only install word and excel, no issues, otherwise,
subsequent updates will not install, and the update balloon keeps staring you
in the face! Trying to get this resolved too,,,,,,,,,,

Just found this post and am encountering the same problem. Does anyone
know where these lines need to be placed in the registry.

If someone can check their clean registry and find these lines please
post where they need to go.

Thanks

I just searched my registry for the above entries that the error message
says it can not write due to insufficient permissions. The search
indicated that all of the entries were already in the registry in
several locations. Now I am really puzzled as to what the heck is going
on since i get the error message appearing four times during a repair.


I have also research the problem further and found that KB646691 which
is word related could not be installed. The error on this one was that
the product is not on the computer. This is also wierd since I am using
Word2007 and SP2 for Office 2007 has been successfully applied.

Any ideas appreciated.

This is a problem that I've become quite familiar with recently, working
with several clients having the same problem, and it always references
the same registry keys. The keys should already be present in the
registry, just need to have permission granted for the installer to be
able to write to them. Here's the KB article we wrote up on it in our
support department:

Symptoms:

The error message that you receive lists the registry subkey that is
causing the error to occur.When attempting to install Microsoft Office,
it will often reference one or more of the following keys:


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Software Classes HWXInk.E-Ink
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Software Classes HWXInk.E-Ink.1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Software Classes SketchObj.SketchInk
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Software Classes SketchObj.SketchInk.1

In order to resolve this, we need to give the installer permission to
write to these keys.

Solution:

Launch the registry editor* by choosing Start Run (or Windows Key+R)
and typing REGEDIT.

Locate the first of the above-listed registry keys. Right-click on the
key and click Permissions. In the list of groups or user names, see if
“Everyone” is listed. If the group exists, skip to step 5.
If the group does not exist, begin with step 1:

1. Click the Add button below the “Group or user
names” box.
2. Click Advanced at the bottom of the next window.
3. Click “Find Now” on the right side of the next
window.
4. In the list of results, choose the “Everyone”
entry, click OK, and then OK again.
5. In the “Group or user names” box, be sure Everyone
is highlighted, and check the box to allow Full Control.
6. Repeat for the next registry key in the list.

Once permissions have been adjusted for all four of the listed keys,
reboot the computer and attempt to install Office.

Reference: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/838687

* - Please note that manually editing the registry can have adverse
consequences, it is recommended to back up the registry before
proceeding, and only proceed if you are comfortable doing so.
