If any of these are your errors or close to it:

Error 1406. Could not write value to key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\.cdda\OpenWithList\iTunes.exe Verify that you have suffient access to that key, or contact your support personnel

Error 1402 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\.cdda\OpenWithProgids. Verify that you have suffient access to that key, or contact your support personnel

Error: -1603 Fatal error during installation
Consult Windows installer Help (Msi.chm) or MSDN for more information



Try this:

Go to Start -> Run -> regedit

From there, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\.cdda

Right click on OpenWithList and go to permissions. From there, select the Add button. Then click advanced. Click "Find Now".

This should bring up a list of users. Select "everyone" and hit OK. Then click on Ok on the next screen.

On the permissions for the OpenWithList box now on top, select the "allow" checkbox in the "full control" row and hit OK.

Do the EXACT same thing with the OpenWithProgids folder, then close regedit and try to install it again.

It works perfectly. I had the same problem.

PM me if you have any more problems or need help
