I receive the following error when trying to install McAfee 6.0:
Error 1402. Could not open key:
Software\Classes\.tsk

I have looked in the registry for this file but it is not there. Does anyone know what the key is suppose to have in it forthe values & data if the registry is upddated manually?
Or do you know of a good fix to get this file on the registry to complete installation?
Thank you

Open Regedt32
Go to Hkey_Local_Machine\Software\Classes.
Click Security - Permissions.
Make sure System has Full Control permissions.
Also, if you are using NT/2000, be logged in as an ADministrator.
.TSK is a Mcafee file extension. If the install program is running without enough security credentials, then it will not be able to write the .TSK folder.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for responding. I have not had a chance to try this yet but I would say it should probably work. Sorry it took so long to approve this.
