When I am trying to install the IFD tool on an on-premise CRM installation it is not updating the registry and the database.

Should the user doing the installation have some special permissions.

A: 

You'll probably want to check the deployment guide, but I'd assume you'd want to be a Deployment Administrator.

I assume you mean "When I am trying to run the IFD tool" and not "install".

Yes thats right I am trying to run the IFD tool. The user i am running it under is a system administrator of the CRM. But I think the problem is not even with CRM its with trying to do the registry updates and the DB updates. I checked and the user was a sys admin for both the local system as well as the database.
I'm not sure how this gets locked down, but are you on Windows Server 2008? Try right clicking and running the tool as Admin?

Also have you checked the logs at all? It doesn't sound like they'll necessarily be overly helpful, but you never know. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948779 shows where the logs are.

I have the same issue. The tool runs and logs say successfull everywhere. But nothing.

Run the IFD tool as Administrator. It will work then.
