I'm trying to install vs2005 professional and I keep getting this erro (tried 3 times)
error 1402. could not open key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ExportModeller.EMTabUnit
I have access to registry (as a matter of fact I tried adding a key to that registry folder and it worked) and I've tried logging in and doign it with the admin account as well. Anyone has a clue as to what's wrong?
I almost hesitate to ask, but.. you haven't got any of the betas for VS 2005 or SQL Server 2005 installed do you?

And you might want to try to disable any AV/Firewall software while installing. Don't ask why.
I dont have any previous versions.... never installed beta ones at all
I dont have any firewall
I have norton corporate but ALL of its dependent services are stopped and it's not running in the background.

What OS are you running. Here is a knowledge base artice on that error for ME or 98.
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;303089
If you are running Windows XP try running sfc /scannow. NOTE: If it finds any errors it will need the OS disk to repair them.
But I was only able to find info on that error message pertaining to ME and 98.
alright I'll try sfc when I get the chance
yeah I have win xp pro :(
ok did that
but seems like nothing changed :(
any other suggestions?
Help! :afrog: I need somebody! :afrog: help! :afrog: not just anybody heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp :afrog: I really want to get this thign installed and I'm not finding much info about it.
Any educated guesses ?
I have exportModeller.dll here:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\1.0\Bin
I looked at it in the object browser and it has EMTabUnit. I couldn't find EMTabUnit in any of the dlls in the similar \1.1\bin directory.
I don't have that particular key, I do have other ExportModeller.EM* keys. I have vs 2005 beta2 and VS 2003 installed.
Googling on that dll bring up lots of problems. I ran regsvr32 "path/to/dll" and it created the key you mention (though it doubled up all the other exportmodeller keys that I did have).
You could search for the dll, Unregister it (regsvr32 -u "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\1.0\Bin\ExportModeller.dll" and try the install. If it fails then register the dll and try again. I have no idea if this will mess things up further...
FWIW my keys (which I didn't have in the first place, and installed beta OK):
Code:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ExportModeller.EMTabUnit]
@="EMTabUnit Class"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ExportModeller.EMTabUnit\CLSID]
@="{20BC1262-34E5-11D5-A800-00902771FF87}"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ExportModeller.EMTabUnit\CurVer]
@="ExportModeller.EMTabUnit.1"
Code:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ExportModeller.EMTabUnit.1]
@="EMTabUnit Class"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ExportModeller.EMTabUnit.1\CLSID]
@="{20BC1262-34E5-11D5-A800-00902771FF87}"
ah fixed!!! thanks so much for the suggestion
I wasnt expecting anyone to come up with a solution
unregistering the dll did the trick
