Can't Install iTunes - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\....

hey guys

i tried installing iTunes v.7.4.2 many times, but this message pops up right before the installation would complete..

Could not open key:
HKEY LOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\.cdda\Open
WithProgIds. Verify that you have sufficent access to
that key, or contact your support personnel.

i tried deleting Apple folders, IPOd folders, and Quicktime folders and reinstalling them but it doesnt work. Then i downloaded Quicktime and iTunes seperately. The Quicktime install went fine, but when i tried to install iTunes after that the same message occurs..

PLEASE HELP ME OUT GUYS!!!

when i go to regedit, my user seems to have correct access on the key, but i add "everyone" as it says in the link above, then when i try to install i get the above error. Go back into regedit and "everyone" is no longer on that key
