SYMPTOMS
When you install Groove in a Windows configuration that differs from a standard Windows configuration, you may receive an error message that resembles the following error message:

Registry Editor is not in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Windows



CAUSE
This issue occurs if the Windows configuration that you are using blocks the use of Registry Editor. Groove must use Registry Editor to write to the registry during the installation process.



MORE INFORMATION
To install Groove Workspace 2.x, you must have Administrator rights to the computer. Because Groove writes to the registry during the installation process, these rights must include access to Registry Editor. In some organizations, users are given Administrator accounts on their computers. However, these accounts may be blocked from using Registry Editor. If you are using this kind of account, you cannot install Groove.
