Hi Tina Not sure, but shouldn't the <RegistryValue> elements have a <RegistryKey> parent to create the key?
So you would have something like <RegistryKey Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\BusinessFramework\Install" Action="createAndRemoveOnUninstall"> <RegistryValye Id="PortalShellReg1" Action='write' Type='string' Name='ApplicationInstallDir' Value='[Files]'/> </RegistryKey> I think that RegistryValue only sets the value of an existing key, it won't create the key if it does not already exist.
