Sharepoint 2010/2013 product configuration wizard - failed to register sharepoint services error



Error
After installing SharePoint 2013 and while running SharePoint product configuration wizard, you may encounter a “Failed to register SharePoint Services” error on Step: 5


Log:
Log might be something similar to :
9/30/2014 19:16:57 8 ERR Failed to register SharePoint services. An exception of type System.InvalidOperationException was thrown. Additional exception information: Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object. System.InvalidOperationException: Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object. at Microsoft.Office.HtmlTrans.HtmlTrServiceDeserializationSecurityHelper.EnsureAcknowledgedRunningOnAppServer(Boolean registryKeyLookupResult, ULSCat serviceCategory, Boolean hasExceptionMessage) at

Fix:
You can easily fix this issue by adding a couple of registry entries.
Steps:
Go to regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office Server\{version}\LauncherSettings
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office Server\{version}\LoadBalancerSettings
Add Dword (32 bit) value 

Name: AcknowledgedRunningOnAppServer
Value: 1

After adding the DWord entries try to re run the configuration wizard and everything will be alright J
