Program wont install, missing registry keys

I am trying to install my digital camera software, I had it installed on my
previous computer that had windows xp, but now when I try to install it on
the new computer with windows vista, it says that 4 registry keys are
missing. What can I do about this?

Did you right click on the installation file and choose Run as
Administrator?

Have you checked with the software author to see if it's compatible with
Vista or see if they have an update or new version?

Hi Andro--

Do you mind posting the exact error message and the name of the Digital
Camera?

See if there's updated software from the manufacturers website. Failing
that, run setup as Administrator by right clicking on the shortcut and
selecting the appropriate option.
