Denied Acces to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Record when Regasming

I require some help with an issue with Microsoft .NET.  Some users
experience a problem with their installation of our product and the
registration of some classes with regasm (so COM can have access to
them).  They get the error message:

Additional information: Access to the registry key
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Record
is denied.

Our current hack around this is an attempt to change registry
permission settings *sigh* I know, this didn't work in all cases but
this is leading us down a path of changing Adminstrator permissions on
several levels of registries.  Is this a known problem?  I've seen
articles out on Google that just end off in "do you have administrator
permissions?"  Is Microsoft installing core library foundations without
the capabilities to use them?

I have a similar problem while trying to register a COM exposed .NET dll.
While regitering it with REGASM, I am getting the following error:
-----------------------------------
RegAsm : error RA0000 : An error occurred while writing the registration
information to the registry. You must have administrative credentials to
perform this task.  Contact your system administrator for assistance
------------------------------------

But, actually I logged in as an Administrator. Please help, if some one has
an answer.
