msfixit Fix: Error code 0x8007000D when trying to activate Windows 7

This error can even be encountered if you run slsmgr -dlv or slmgr -ato from a command line.

The System account by default has Full Control permissions to the registry path-

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root and any subkeys.

If those permissions have been altered for the ‘Root’ key or any subkey(s), we would see the error code 0x8007000D.
