InstallAware

I am got following error while installation
"Error 1406. Could not write value BrandList to key \SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{ProductCode}. System error . Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel."

I am trying to write BrandList Value under \SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{ProductCode} using


If I ignore the error the rest of the installation is performed successfully. When registry key Uninstall\{ProductCode} is created without any issues then why there is an error related to permission on writing a value to an existing registry key. After all, both values are written by Windows installer.

Can someone please help me resolve this issue.

Dear hdwivedi23,

even if such registry location should never be used to store custom application data, I am not able to replicate your issue.

I just used the following code to store a dummy value under the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable" uninstall registry path and worked fine.
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{1F1C2DFC-2D24-3E06-BCB8-725134ADF989})



Hope this helps you.

Regards
