Not likely to be true. I tried searching through whole registry for keywords, but nothing was found. So I am pretty much sure that entries are not written to registry at all. Any other ideas what could be preventing writing registry without installer noticing it?

If you're missing some registry entries from HKLM maybe they're actually in HKCU.

Should it be something like HKLM? Should the registry key be created before writing to it, or it is being created automatically if doesn't exist?

No errors in MSI log files regarding registry, component gets installed but no registry entries can be found. Check a verbose log around the WriteRegistryValues action; verbose logs include every value written. If there are none, check out the section around InstallValidate; maybe MSI decided your component didn't need to be installed. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
