SW 5.0 installation - failed to update registry?

    Hello

    Has anyone had the following problem: After installation of SW 5.0 (using
    Windows XP Pro), the message, "failed to update system registry, please use
    regedit" appears as I attempt to launch the program. The message is
    harmless, i think, because after selecting "OK" several times, SW launches
    as normal and becomes fully funcioning. I have researched the problem and
    found several people experiencing the same problem with Autocad, however,
    the suggested remedy of granting user access full permission within the
    regedit function, fails to solve my SW issue. Can anyone help with this
    annoying problem?

    Thank you in advance

    So you have already tried setting the 3 below registry key permissions to
    allow "Full Control" and "Read"? (make sure they are not set to "special
    permissions"

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SldAssem.Document

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SldDraw.Document


    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SldPart.Document

    Hope that helps,
