Thanks, Sue. Setting the permissions on the registry keys worked.

If it helps you to know, I had to set these three keys:

HKCR\.cs\PersistentHandler
HKCR\.tif\PersistentHandler
HKCR\.xslt\PersistentHandler

When I try to load the Desktop Search beta version 3.0, I get an error
stating "Access is denied" as the install is updating the registry. The
install backs out properly, but I can't figure out why the install won't run
properly.
