    Windows Registry Key

    Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion

    The keys that matter are ProductName, CurrentVersion, CurrentBuildNumber and CSDVersion. CSDVersion means info about Service Pack.

    Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?

    cannot rename the key in \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows... wie1.png


    Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).

    cannot rename the key in \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows...

    (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows Media) MISSING from Registry

    Did you read the article?

    It tells you step by step how to create the key.

    You must have at least HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Media Foundation\Platform

    Don't worry about creating the key for wow643node, that I believe is the wrong error message.
