    Cause of this problem was my operating system. It was Windows 10 1709 and it had not activation. I install Windows 10 22H2 and I activate it. As a result, the problem is fixed.

    The log did not reveal anything new, but I still wanted to make sure.

    The error message is pretty clear: you are not permitted to write to that registry key. One reason could be that you have insufficient permission. But since Setup requests to run as an Administrator, this is less likely. Still you may want to check permissions on this key. Not the least if you are running this in a corporate environment, where your IT department may have push some cruel group policies.

    The other possible reason is that an over-zealous filter driver is protecting this key. The most likely culprit is some anti-malware program, but maybe it could also be some backup software you have installed.

    In any case, the error is due some unexpected condition on your computer, so it is difficult for us to say "this is error is due to XYZ, and here is the fix."
