Does anyone have a list of permissions for the registry?
I took a gander through HKLM and I see the following
permissions on the following key:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{7007ACC7-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E}

Administrators - Full Control (Inherited)
Everyone - QV, ES, N, RC (Inherited)
RESTRICTED - QV, ES, N, RC (Inherited)
SYSTEM - Full Control (Inherited)

QV = Query Value
ES = Enumerate Subkeys
N = Notify
RC = Read Control

I'm also looking for the proper way to reset the registry
permissions. I've tried the following but I keep running into
problems with MSI (registry permissions ???). Not sure if
Microsoft updates the file responsible for permissions, ie,
does the registry get set to pre-SP2 conditions after resorting
to the following link?

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=313222

I also reinstalled MSI from the following Microsoft website...

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/893803/

Currently, after running the MSI reinstall, most .msi (if not all)
software applications result in the following message...

"The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed.
This can occur if you are running Windows in safe
mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly
installed. Contact your support personnel for
assistance."

And an "Application Event" reports the message reported
in ApplicationEventLogEvent1.

Thanks much for any suggestions.

Pardon the question in the wmi newsgroup. The problem seems
to involve MSI and registry permissions rather than WMI. I do
get stray Events listed in the Application Event log involving
WMI but for the moment I'm trying to get the registry
permissions resolved involving MSI.

Using the following command line to restore permissions
results in the permissions as listed (throughout most of
HKLM)...

secedit /configure /cfg C:\WINDOWS\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose

Administrators - Full Control (Inherited)
Everyone - QV, ES, N, RC (Inherited)
RESTRICTED - QV, ES, N, RC (Inherited)
SYSTEM - Full Control (Inherited)

QV = Query Value
ES = Enumerate Subkeys
N = Notify
RC = Read Control

My goal, at the moment, involves getting MSI to work.
I greatly appreciate any and all suggestions. Some
other permission problems exist so if anyone knows of
a cure-all for registry permissions, great! Again, my
apologies for starting this in the WMI group.
