Cannot install/uninstall iTunes 7.3

Installation stopped and I got this warning,
"Could not open key: HKEY LocalMachine\Software\Classes\.cda\OpenWithProgids"
Same message when I try to uninstall using add/remove programs.
Anyone know how to fix this? I cannot use iTunes or update my iPod.

Windows XP

It may be a slightly different problem, but I had the same issue in that I could not install/reinstall iTunes. b noir posted some help in my thread above that solved the problem for me. Look for the thread entitled:

iTunes won't run, can't be reinstalled, and can't be removed

Even though you're not getting an error message number 1402 or 1406, the best place to start with an install problem citing that particular Registry key is the following document:

Error 1406 or 1402 appears when you install iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
