Hey Shane,

First off wanted to thank you for your tool, it's quite revolutionary and has saved me in a jam many times. 

I myself ran the All-in-One, and my Windows App Store stopped working after that.  It fixed my external hard drive which I couldn't install anything on due to reallocations, and your tool made me quite happy, but today I discovered Facebook doesn't install, it downloads but then fails at the install. Was there any progress made with fixing this? I ran the Windows Cab file you had posted and it didn't fix it.  Also tried going into the my computer thing where you had me right click and add access to all users, full control was already granted.  I don't really want to refresh my PC atm.  I'm getting error 8007064a. 

Thanks !       !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shane:
Always start a new thread for yourself, I moved your post to a new one for you :-)

When you ran the repair tools did you run the reg permissions repair?

Also as a test, make a new user and then log in as that user and try the app store, let me know if that works.

That freaking app store is so easy to break it isnt funny. In Windows 8.0 I couldnt touch any reg key permissions under hkey local machine or the app store freaked out, but hkey current user was fine. But looks like in 8.1 they changed it to not like hkey_current user touched. I may need to make a quick update and block that from 8.1 as well.

New user account fixed it. 

Went back to old account out of curiosity and it still had troubles.  I converted it to a Microsoft Account and it still did not work.  Will take a lot of effort to move stuff over to new account, so next lazy day I guess I'll do it. 

Do you think running the updated tweaker tool again will fix anything with it?  I'm on 8.1 

THanks again.

And to answer other question yes I ran the reg permissions fix, because I had a hard drive with some bad sectors that I couldn't access data from, it magically fixed it. 

Shane:
OK looks like something n 8.1 doesnt like having the reg permissions touched. And of course MS has no info on it, so looks like I will need to disabled the reg permissions repair int he program until I can find out what keys the app store wants AND what permissions needs to be on those keys for the app store not to complain.

The problem isnt the app store not having permission, it has permission to those keys, the problem is it is checking for something specific on the permissions and if it doesnt match it simply refuses to work. The app store is horribly buggy. Just like if a folder it needs isnt there it will error out instead of just making the dang folder!
