Visual Studio 2012 installation was failing, seemed to take a long time on “Creating a system restore point.” Eventually shows an error screen saying “Setup Engine: Access is Denied.” Log file in TEMP directory says:<\/p>\n
Lots of Googling only suggested running the setup as Administrator but that wasn’t helping. Before it fails, I guess it writes an entry in the Uninstall key and also the HKCR\\Installer\\Depedencies key. Tried clearing those out and also deleting any files in C:\\ProgramData\\Package Cache and C:\\Temp but that didn’t help. Checked permissions on the Run and RunOnce keys, looked normal.<\/p>\n Final solution:<\/strong> Found out user had installed some anti-malware software (IObit Malware Fighter) that had a service running that was protecting the Run keys. Seems like a reasonable way to protect the system but it was getting in the way of the install! Others on the web suggested some anti-virus software like McAfee got in the way too. Check for any anti-malware or anti-virus services and temporarily stop them for the install!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Visual Studio 2012 installation was failing, seemed to take a long time on “Creating a system restore point.” Eventually shows an error screen saying “Setup Engine: Access is Denied.” Log file in TEMP directory says: Error 0x80070005: Failed to write run key value.
