flash player created locked registry keys

I attempted to install Flash Player 32.0.2.255 and the first attempt bombed right at the beginning.  Looking at the Event Viewer in MMC I found the problem was that Flash wanted VC version 9 (VC 2008) installed so I downloaded a copy and installed it.  Retried the Flash install and everything went fine until the very end.  There was a problem with the control panel applet.  So according to the last installer message Flash was not installed.  Trusting my eyes rather than a message I did a search in the registry for the word "flash".  The first key the search encountered I was unable to delete.  It is locked in some fashion that even as the Administrator with full permissions (I checked that by right clicking on the registry key and selecting permissions) it will not let it be deleted.  What is going on here?  Anybody know?  I did make a backup before the install so I can put things back right but I'm curious since I've never run into this situation before.  

 

PS  The key is in classes root\CLSID  and classes root\interface

Beside the manual method to get access to locked registry keys, as described in linked tutorial above,  you can use a tool called Registry Permission Tool. It's freeware and can be downloaded from the homepage of this tool: https://www.xeromag.com/fvshare.html :)
