I'm trying to software using Chocolatey onto a Windows 7 Enterprise machine, but it requires permissions for "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Microsoft Security Client". Since this computer is supposed to be pretty secure, then I guess it's a good thing I don't have any access to any Microsoft Security Essentials stuff.
Why does Chocolatey even need access to this stuff and can I skip it? There's no guarantee I'll get the permissions. This happens with our own custom packages AND, for example, the public Git package.
The full error:
Requested registry access is not allowed. Failed to open subkey named 'Microsoft Security Client' for 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall', likely due to permissions: Requested registry access is not allowed.
Thank you for your time
