As mentioned by Daniel, the Wow6432Node entry in the registry is for 64-bit systems, which is why you can't locate it.
I'd take Daniel up on his offer to help you solve the problem.
As a side note, although I did resolve the Silverlight issue as detailed in my earlier post, in the weeks following I had very similar troubles installing other applications; in each case the problem was tracked to incorrect or missing permissions for Wow6432node
entries. This occurred even though all my overall permissions were configured properly. (The problem started for me, it seems in retrospect, in the aftermath of an update for Net 3.0 from Microsoft. I'm not sure of that, but given the timeframe of my problems
and the fact that there were reports of ACL problems caused by that particular update, I'm leaning in that direction.)
In the end, I couldn't resolve the problem, so I opted to reformat and reinstall the OS rather than go through the nightmarishly tedious process of manually registering dlls and reconfiguring permissions, etc for nealry every app I installed. No similar
problems as of yet, thankfully. I've yet to figure out what caused the whole permissions mess, but all the hours logged in the Google trenches revealed that there are many Vista users (mostly those using 64-bit systems) suffering the exact same problems.
Wish I could have been more helpful. Here's hoping you find a resolution to your problem.
Yes, I do think it is caused by my os's problem. When I install other ActiveX plugins, such as net bank's control, it was denied also, and I had use procemon to discover the key from a mess of log, and manually modify the rights.... orz
I think JMSteele and I am facing the same problem, in a word - Proper rights should be provided when starting CMD.exe or batch with Administrator's privilege. But in some os, it did not, so it causes register dlls or something else failed.
Any evolve to this problem please share with us. :)
Thank all friends especially JMSteele for keeping an eye on this issue problem.
At a two second glance and a impulsive thought have you tried verifying the MSI is updated or reinstalling the MS installer and then try SilverLight again.....
okay, I enabled the "Admininstrator" account, login and start regedt32.exe with administrator's privilege, change these key's owner as "Administrators" and assign full rights( In this step, it shown a lot of no right errors and i was confused, but at last
the rights added successful -_-|| ).
switch to current using user, either the regsvr32 or the installation is ok!

:D
I've resolved this problem too.
After a analyse of procmon's log, I found my user doesn't have rights to access the following two registry key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AgControl.AgControl
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AgControl.AgControl.1.0
okay, I enabled the "Admininstrator" account, login and start regedt32.exe with administrator's privilege, change these key's owner as "Administrators" and assign full rights( In this step, it shown a lot of no right errors and i was confused, but at last the rights added successful -_-|| ).
switch to current using user, either the regsvr32 or the installation is ok!
Now open a site with sl, it presents well :)
