Default Can't write to registry


I'm trying to install a new version of a program I'm using, but it fails
every time I try.

Normally I'm running as an administrator and when I want to install the
new program I right-click and select "run as administrator" This doesn't
work and is giving the above error.
I've created a superadmin account by running cmd as admin, and using:
net user administrator /active:yes

The superadmin account is active and seems to be working okay (I think)
but if I try to install the program from this account I still get the
same error. I thought that the superadmin had access rights for
everything? (except some critical windows stuff)

In the file properties (program exe file) I already checked the
security settings and added everything in the list with full rights.

I have uninstalled the previous installation of the program, reboot and
via regedit deleted all keys that where related to the program.
Also all folders are deleted.
Still when trying to install the new version I do get this
error

Vista Ultimate x64
sp 2 installed, but installing the program has been tried with just
sp1. Made no difference.

Is there anyone who knows a solution for this?
Something I'm missing??
