I cannot duplicate your problem.  I used regedt32 and found the Symantec live update 
key quickly, and reviewed the security permissions on it.  Are you logging on as 
administrator, or perhaps as a user who doesn't have permissions to that key?

Subject: Norton AV LiveUpdate security problem...Has anyone found a fix
for this?


Norton AV Corp. Ed. v.7.5

Users logged on as "User" on W2K cannot run Live Update.  The Article on
Symantec's website says to sedt security on a registry key to fix the
problem.  The HKLM/Software/Symantec/LiveUpdate key only exists in Regedit,
not Regedt32.  Therefore, I can't set permissions on it.  The problem is
with LiveUpdate.  The user gets told:

"LiveUpdate could not access a file

LiveUpdate could not read or write a file it needed because you do not have
sufficient access rights.  You need to have full rights to the per machine
directory in the Windows install folder and full rights to the Symantec
product you are updating."

I get this even if I give the user "Full Control" through NTFS to the
entire drive.  It has to be a registry fix I'm guessing.

Has anyone found a fix for this?
