Warning, I am a: "fail to set the install registry key"

Tried to update the my ATI Radeon X800's Catalyst drivers to version 5.8, only to be greated with a wonderful message from the driver installer:

"fail to set the install registry key"

Luckily I found a solution and I'm just dying to pass it on to you:

If you're still having problems you might want to try installing the latest .NET Framework (v2.0) available here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/ After installing (or using the package's repair function) try repeating the above Catalyst install procedure again.
