WDS 3.0 install failures (error modifying the Read-Only ACL)

February 5, 2007 at 12:53 pm
Desktop Search

I’ve noticed some users arriving at my blog by searching the web for the message “Error modifying the Read-Only ACL on one of the permission restricted keys” - which was reported on one of the comments to an old post of mine back in November.

Unfortunately, we are unable to reproduce this problem - it’s believed to be caused by anti-spyware software modifying the permissions on certain registry keys.  However, it’s difficult to know for sure.

If you arrive here because you’re having this problem, please e-mail me.
