Error when installing

Iv'e searched other forums and websites for this, but I cant solve it.

When I try to install SQL 2000 I get an error about Low Registry Quota.

Any idea on how to solve this?

Doing a quick search, I found this suggestion which helped a few people fix this problem. Can you check if this might be your problem?

Thanks,
Sam

I have never ever had the following error message before during the
installation of SQL Server Developer Edition 2000 on a client running
Windows XP Pro SP2 using an account with administrator privileges:
"An error occurred while creating one or more registry entries. Please see
C:\Windows\sqlstp.log for details. The problem could be caused by a low
registry quota condition."

Looking on the internet I have only found several people who had the same
problem but nobody gave a solution. What I have done to find the cause for
this problem was to run the Registry Monitor tool which can be found on
sysinternals.com to monitor what was causing this "Registry error".

I saw that I got several access denies to the following registry key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.col

In RegEdit I noticed that the permissions for this key were set to
read-only. I have changed this for the Administrator to full-control and the
installation of SQL Server worked fine.
