System error 5 is 'Access Denied'. I don't know how you got in this situation but the following should work: • Run regedit • Press Ctrl+F and search for the key E66BB33D46696BABA0900B - you should find it under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE Microsoft Windows CurrentVersion Installer UserData S-1-5-18 Components. (regedit in Windows 10 build 10565 and later is a bit crashy - you may find it works better if you select the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE before starting the search). • Delete the key E66BB33D46696BABA0900B • Reinstall EDMarketConnector.
