I've tried this:

http://groups.google.com/group/micro... ad4ea068b851


secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /
verbose


and read this in another post..

I granted everyone full control of the registry and cleaned the
registry with Regpair and SP2 installed.

But how exactly do you do this?

I'm logged in as the built in administrator and checked regedit and I
appear to have write access to all the the registry entries.

Interestingly, prior to attempting windows update for sp2 I was trying
to install sharepoint 2.0 and was getting an error while trying to
update a registry entry.

I see a lot of posts on the topic.. but nothing is working.

BTW, I'm installing all of this under a windows Virtual Pc instance.
Not sure if it matters.

Thanks for any help or information.
