(I want to thank all those with their suggestions, but)

After countless trys at removing Roxio and Sonic I still get the No Permission - Bad Installation. What is the latest and has Roxio given a time frame on a patch?

When clearing the registry this last time I did notice a 3rd area under HKEY_CURRENT-USER (software) for "Sonic Solutions". Should I have also removed this?

Any help is appreciated!

If your starting from scratch, I'd remove anything with Sonic or Roxio listed in the registry.

I tryed again with removing all references to Sonic and Roxio with the same unsuccessful result.

After reinstalling I'm not getting the activation screen at all. Anyone know how I can call it up to activate mpeg2 ???

It will just happen on it's own in it's own time. No way to make it come up that we know of.

I have been off the board for 8 days and wondering if anything has happened to resolve the "no permission - bad installation" problem... thanks

I would like to ask the same question!!!!!!!!! any new help

Last week tech support thought it might be a registry problem. As per their instructions I cleaned the registry and reinstalled with the same result "no permission - bad installation". Has anyone received a fix that works the first time tryed?

I can only add that from my personal experience with this problem, nothing worked for me until my third clean uninstall and reinstall.

I passed the 3rd install months ago.... I believe that I have tryed over 12 times at this point.

Not sure what I can say to make you feel any better but hopefully, the much desired update will be out soon.

Now June 9th and no word... at least a tentative date would be appreciated!

Agreed!

Personally, I stopped holding my breath waiting for it

This is my first post in over a week. The length of time is something that I have not done in the past 3-1/2 years.

The patch may be coming, but the lack of having it much sooner, by Roxio, is pure unadulterated bull**it!

I don't care about the Vista portion of it, because I feel that anyone who moves up to a new OS, without waiting 6 months to a year, is an id*ot anyway. It is my feeling that the issues with Windows XP won't be addressed, and it is hit and miss whether or not they will be addressed in version 10.

BTW, I have a feeling that I may be made invisible or banned, because of this post. I don't really care. It may make some folks happy.

Another, BTW. I won't be moving to Nero, because for video work, they really su*k, and I have no clue why folks would use that software.

There's that version 10 talk again.

We could now all chill out and have a 'GPB', virtual Beer.



It's time for this post to be

cd

Still no help and I am wondering if the only way to upgrade is to pay the $49.99 for the program (if that works at all).. I have found that other programs out there can accomplish things for which I had been using Roxio. Although the biggest problem is the learning curve, I have found others which have more features and depth to accomplish things I never thought possible with Roxio. I wish Roxio the best, but am convinced that they are going another direction and have left us all out in the cold.

Hope to see you all on another e-community as I have finished here.
