Hi,

I am not sure if this is the best newsgroup for this query, but here goes.
I was installing some software for my new mobile phone and the installation
failed right at the end when trying to register some dll's. I then tried to
manually register them and got an error with code 0x80070005. I did some
digging and found that this is a permissions thing. What I can't work out
is which resource / object I have not been granted sufficient privelages. I
first attemped the install as a member of the local administrators and after
it failed I gave it another go using the built-in local administrator
account but that produced the same problem. The dll files themselves are
not restricted via NTFS. Perhaps it is one of the COM services, but which
one?

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA,

Jarryd
 
Jarryd,

Since the issue is with .dll files I'd suspect Permission issues in
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. A subkey of that is *most* likely where the issue is.
If the installer is an .msi you can enable verbose logging and perhaps
get a clue as to where in the registry the error is occurring.
Not sure where the log would be written to as I'm not all that familiar
with mobiles. Perhaps in the Temp directory, Local Settings, of your
User Account.

To set the Verbose logging level, you can add a value to the following registry key,
using regedit.exe:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
\Software
\Microsoft
\Windows
\CurrentVersion
\Setup
Value Name: LogLevel
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value (hexadecimal): 0000FFFF

When finished, you should set it back to the original, Value (Hexadecimal): 20000000
