Autodesk installation error: Could not open Key

This error is coming because you don’t have the permission to access this registry entry.

To solve this you need to change the permissions of the folder in the Registry:

1. First go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInstallerUserDataS-1-5-18Components registry entry.

2. Right Click on Components select permissions.

3. Click Advanced button.

4. Select the Owner Tab

5. Under Change owner to: Select Administrators (Group) and Click Apply.

6. Then Select Checkbox Replace owner on subcontainers and objects and Click Apply

7. Go to the Permissions tab, select the Checkbox: Replace all child objects Permissions with inheritable permissions from this object and Click apply.
