Re: reinstalling a program

Not clear from your post why you can't run the same install program you downloaded to your hard disk when you bought it originally.
It could be that it won't accept your license code (because it doesn't know it's a reinstall on the same machine, but thinks you're trying to use it on another machine at the same time). Then their customer service should solve that, either by giving you a new license code or by deleting the old occurrence in their database so you can reuse it.

Most of moderators here think a registry cleaner is a totally useless and even dangerous program. So our advice would be to simply forget about installing it and take your loss. But that's up to you to decide.

A few thoughts . . .

First, I agree with Kees. Most registry "adjusters" can be downright harmful. Have you been to the site where you bought the program and asked for help? If you feel you must have a registry adjuster and the one you have won't install properly, there is a free program called CCleaner that is excellent.
