Not sure about deleting the registry key, but have you tried to un-register
the OCXs which may still be registered from the previous install.  Use
"regsvr32 -u filename.ocx" to un-register.

Hope this helps.

Subject:        [THIN] Cannot Delete Registry Key


Hi All,

We have a quite serious problem that I hope you can help to resolve.

We're currently in the process of installing an application on our Windows
NT 4.0 Terminal Services Edition (SP6) Server. Through various problems
we've had to uninstall the application and try again. During the install,
the
application installs and self registers various OCX files. There are 2 OCX
files however that the installer cannot register.

Using the Regmon utility I've managed to determine that the problem is
caused insufficient permissions on a HKCR\TypeLib key. Using regedt32
I've tried to change the permissions and event delete this key in the hope
I can manually register it. However I keep getting an error saying 'Error
while deleting key'.

Can anyone help me remove this offending key?


TIA,
Rab.
