Error 1406 : "Unable to write the value gina.dll in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\...\Winlogon" during installation

Situation:During the installation of pcAnywhere under Windows NT 4, you see the following error message: "Unable to write the value gina.dll in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon."

Solution:NOTE: If you are seeing this error message, and you are running Windows 95, 98, or Me, you can simply ignore the error message and the installation should complete normally.

You do not have permission to write to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon key.

To add permissions to the key:
    CAUTION: We strongly recommend that you back up the system registry before making any changes. Incorrect changes to the registry could result in permanent data loss or corrupted files. Please make sure you modify only the keys specified. Please see the document How to back up the Windows 95/98/NT registry before proceeding.
