Hi there,
Are you trying to install a certain software?
This means that you don't have the required permission to add an entry to that registry key
On your keyboard hold down the windows key and press the letter R
When the runbox comes up type in regedit
Follow the path to find the problem key
Right click on the key and choose permissions
On the box that will come up click Add
In the enter object name type in everyone and click check names
Click Ok and OK again
Reopen the permissions box
Click everyone and put a check mark on the Full control tick box on the bottom
Click Ok
CLose the registry editor and try reinstalling the program.
IF it still does the error message try downloading this program to reset the registry permissions

run the program and after it finishes restart the computer and try to reinstall.
Hope this helps!
The first thing you should do to fix this error is - if you're using Windows 98 or 2000 - to use the 'registry checker' facility. This is done by loading up the "Run Console" with CTRL + R and then typing "registry checker". If the registry is intact then this will not be a problem. On later versions of Windows, you should use a 'registry cleaner' program to perform this task.
If you have XP, Vista or Windows 7, you should first download a registry cleaner from the Internet and let that scan your system. It will look for any registry errors on your PC and then fix them, which should fix the 1402 error in the process. To use one of these, you need to download a registry scanner program and then let it scan your PC. It will identify all the damaged parts of Windows and should fix them. And if one of these registry errors is causing the 1402 error then a quick restart after the registry scan should enable you to install Office or the program you wanted.
If that method did not work, you should try using a different user account, or creating a new user account, to install the program onto. It's often the case that user accounts will become corrupted for whatever reason, blocking access to the registry. This causes the 1402 error because it means that the program cannot access the files and settings it needs to create when it's being installed. You should try creating a new administrator account and then installing the program on that.
