problem installing displaylink core software on Windows 8.1

[GrassrootsIT]

Hi,

Having the same issue installing the Displaylink Core Software 7.6 on a Asus Taichi 31 hybrid tablet running Windows 8 (Soon to be updated to Windows 8.1).

DisplayLink software installs and then core software doesn't install correctly (See attachment for error). The error is for all entries \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DisplayLinkGA\D evice1 through to Device0

I have changed the permissions for the Registry, adding the Everyone group with full access permission to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry keys, this didn't make any difference. Even after completely removing software, restarting and installing again.

The device will function and detect the display, however needs to be turned on from the notification area every time the laptop is restarted.

I will note I was using an outlook.com account, so I enabled the local administrator account and tried the install again, same issue.

Any assistance or resolution for this would be appreciated.
