Hi Joseph,

What is HP Administrator?

Here are some things to look at.

Error message when you install Business Contact Manager: "Error 1406 Could
not write value to key \SOFTWARE"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913559

If Spy Sweeper is installed and running, try disabling it while installing
whatever.
You may receive Error 1406 when you use Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer 2.0
to install IntelliPoint 5.2 on a Windows-based computer
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912082

There is a third-party application on the system that is denying the
required access to the registry subkey. In most cases, this behavior is
caused by WebRoot Spysweeper.
You receive an error message when you install an Office program or open an
Office program or document
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/838687

To work around this issue and complete the installation process, click
Ignore very time that you receive the error message.
