Hi,
I am trying to install SQL server 2012/SQL Server 2014 and I constantly keep getting this error and the Management Tools fails to install.
'Could not write values to registry key \SOFTWARE. Verify you have sufficient access or contact support personnel'
Tried installing even SQL Server 2008 and still get the same error.
Below is the log i get from C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\Log\20140705_151943\sql_ssms_Cpu64_1.log
