VMWare workstation 7.1.4 failed to install on Windows 7 x86 SP1 with error - "Failed to write to the requested registry valueValue: FOILError: 5"

Error 5 is usually a permission ("Access Denied") issue. You may need to run the installation by "Run as Administrator". For more hints on installing VMware Workstation on Windows 7, take a look at http://faq.sanbarrow.com/index.php?solution_id=1113
