I've seen this problem numerous times and it is caused by a file getting
corrupted in your registry. The solution I am about to give requires
that you have the Delphi 6 CD and will also require you to re-install
your third party components. That said, here are the steps to do:

Navigate to the directory where you installed Delphi 6 using Explorer.
Open up the Bin directory and you will see a file called
D6RegClean.exe. Run that program. Now insert your Delphi 6 CD and
launch the D6 installer. When prompted, choose repair your copy of
Delphi. Once that repairs, launch Delphi and proceed to register the
product. This time it should be successful.

Note: If you are using Windows 98 or Millennium D6RegClean won't work
so you will have to manually delete the Delphi\6.0 registry keys.

Regards,
Angel

Do NOT do this without first trying this first. It worked for me.

Run regedit and delete LM from HKCU/Software/Borland/Delphi/6.0 and
then
run the registration wizard again.
