Your way I would have to have 30+ installers all of which would have to 
be run in sequence before the app could work, just to set a bunch of 
strings in the registry.  That is simply not sane!

Currently I'm thinking of a selfreg DLL that just sets up the registry, 
since MSI has support for selfreg and handles uninstall for it.  Hacky 
but the only way short of abandoning MSI completely - and it's too close 
to release date for that, alas.
