Windows – Cannot write to registry while installing Microsoft Access 2010 – Error 1406

64-bitinstallationmicrosoft accessmicrosoft-officewindows 7

While installing I get an error:

an error:

Microsoft Access 2010 encountered an error during setup.

Error 1406. Setup cannot write the value to the registry key \Software\Classes\Interface{000C036F-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\ProxyStubClsid.

Verify that have sufficient permissions to access the registry or contact Microsoft Product Support Services (PSS) for assitance.

I went to regedit to check on the key that the error was talking about but when I clicked on it it says file not found.

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

Any ideas?
