Important This article contains information about how to modify the registry. Make sure to back up the registry before you modify it. Make sure that you know how to restore the registry if a problem occurs.

256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows registry



SYMPTOMS
When running Visual Studio .NET setup you receive the following error message:

Error 1926.Could not set file security for file '80070538'. Error: c:\inetpub\wwwroot. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to modify the security permissions for this file.

The setup rollback runs and removes the changes Visual Studio Setup made.



CAUSE
Installing the Microsoft XML Parser (MSXML) 4.0 Technology Preview prior to running Visual Studio Setup may cause this behavior, but there may be other causes as well.



RESOLUTION
There are two possible resolutions to this problem:  In some cases stopping the Internet Information Server (IIS) services before running Setup again has resolved the problem:  Right-click the My Computer icon on your desktop and click Manage from the pop-up menu. Expand the Services and Applications node by clicking the + to the left of it. Expand the Internet Information Services node. Right-click each item under Internet Information Services, and then click Stop from the pop-up menu. Run Visual Studio .NET Setup again.</li></ol> </li> Installing the Microsoft XML Parser (MSXML) 4.0 Technology Preview prior to running Visual Studio Setup may cause the problem. For information on the Parser, see the following Microsoft Web site:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/xml/bb190622.aspx

Use the following procedure to remove the Parser and run Setup again.

Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk. <ol> Remove the MSXML 4.0 Technology Preview parser by using the Add/Remove Programs utility in Control Panel.</li> Remove any MSXML4*.* files on your computer (they will be only in System32).</li> Remove all keys from the Registry that refer to MSXML4*.dll (some may be left over after you uninstall).</li> Install MSXML 3.0 Service Pack 3 from the following Microsoft Web site:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/xml/bb190622.aspx

On the right panel, select the desired version of the parser, and then follow the instructions on the page.</li> From a command prompt within System32, run the command XMLINST -u .</li> From the command prompt, type Regsvr32 MSXML.DLL, and then press ENTER.</li> From the command prompt, type Regsvr32 MSXML2.DLL, and then press ENTER.</li> From the command prompt, type Regsvr32 MSXML3.DLL, and then press ENTER..</li> From the command prompt, type Regsvr32 MSXML4.DLL, and then press ENTER.</li> From the command prompt, type XMLINST and press ENTER. (This will replace the necessary MSXML registry keys.)</li> Run Visual Studio .NET Setup again.</li></ol> </li></ul>
