C2config, from the Resource Kit, fails to set Inheritance on the following keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARE
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClasses
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoft
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARESecure

Modify the C2RegACL.inf file to include the INHERIT attribute.

Sample of a section of the C2RegACL.inf before modifications:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARE]
BUILTINAdministrators = FULL
CREATOR OWNER = FULL
SYSTEM = FULL
Everyone = QV, SV, CS, ES, NT, DE, RC

Sample of the same section, after modification:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARE]
BUILTINAdministrators = FULL
BUILTINAdministrators = INHERIT, FULL
CREATOR OWNER = FULL
CREATOR OWNER = INHERIT, FULL
SYSTEM = FULL
SYSTEM = INHERIT, FULL
Everyone = QV, SV, CS, ES, NT, DE, RC
Everyone = INHERIT, QV, SV, CS, ES, NT, DE, RC
