Question : Problem: Cannot get MS ActiveSync to load on XP Professional SP2

Greetings,

Tried on 2 different machines so far with the same results.....

Trying to install MS ActiveSync (latesest v4.5) from the MS website....Keep getting an erroe "Could not write value CLSID to key \software\microsoft\internet explorer\extensions\{2EAF5BB1-070F-11D3-9307-00C04FAE2D4F}. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.

I have tried also just logging on the local machine as the administrator (versus the local user, who also has machine administrator privlages) and that didn't make a differenance.....

I also tried loading v4.2 and same issue...

We are running IE 6. I have not loaded IE7 to see if that makes a difference, but I'm going to try that next...

Any ideas ??

if it failed with this permission issue when you are Administrator i am guessing you have some antivirus/antispyware/antimalware that is running in the background preventing it from installing correctly
