When trying to do an administrative installation (via msiexec /a) the installation fails with error 1404 (Could not create key: Software\Classes) when I have no administrative rights on the local machine.
In my understanding an administrative installation is just copying and unpacking to a network location without modifying the machine. This should be possible without admin rights.
Any ideas?

I guess the admin sequence tables are not what you think. It should be something like this:
http://msdn.microsof...uence_table.asp
(follow both "suggested admin sequence" links).
Use Orca to check it. Although you probably did nothing with these tables, Merge Modules could have done so.
Be careful - error 1404 means:
Could not delete key [2]. System error [3].

AdminUISequence and AdminExecuteSequence are exactly as suggested in the documentation. And error code was 1401 not 1404. Sorry, my mistake.
Error 1401. Could not create key: Software\Classes. System error 5. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
