When I attempt to install resharper for Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise I get the following 6 errors:

Could not load the C:\Users\markh\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0_18c18736\privateregistry.bin file as a Registry App Hive in non-exclusive mode. The system cannot find the path specified
Failed to load the Registry Detour File, no detour.

What can I do to solve these issues?

Hello Mark

Looks like you are using Windows 7 and Visual Studio 2017 instance was open when you run ReSharper Installer. Due to Windows 7 restriction, we can't access a registry entry since Visual Studio locks it.

Please close VS2017 instance and run installation once again.

By the way, due to such restriction, there is that issue as well https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RSRP-463610.

Thanks!
