Disable anti-virus software for the time of installation.
Sounds like some over-zealous program interfering with files.

"RegCreateKeyEx" failing with code 5 means the installer was trying to write to the registry but did not have permission to do so.

Try running as administrator, as well as Thiev's suggestion to disable AV.

Feh, just delete the registry, you don't need it anyway.

DO NOT DELETE THE REGISTRY!

I can only imagine when you looked at your un-edited post, and the realization hit you like a bullet lol.

OP, if installing as Administrator doesn't work, try installing it in Safe Mode, see if it does.
