Fixed AVG 9 Install Error: Connecting to Registry Root

If you get this error;

AVG 9 Install

Error: Connecting to item registry root HKCU (username) failed. Access is denied

First, I have only noticed this error on Windows XP machines and those machines were on a Windows domain. But, if you don't know where to look you could spend way too much time trying to install an anti virus program.

A small rant here; when you install AVG 9 you have to download the program during the install. This is great to make sure you get the latest application, but crappy because there servers are slow. And, if you do get this error message you have to download again to test if you fixed it!

1. Restart your computer
2. Login as the LOCAL administrator
3. Open My Computer
4. Open Documents and Settings
5. Delete all files in the, NOT the folders
6. Install AVG 9
