1 - post your WiX code for creating the Registry Entries otherwise we're all just guessing at the problem. Also extracts from a verbose log when the registry entries are created on the machine with the problem may also help.
2 - Which other systems have you tested? Is it fine on x64 Vista? What about x86 & x64 versions of Server 2008 & Windows 7? 3 - final release of WiX 3.0 is v3.0.5419.0. You probably want to update your compiler to that version as it's been out since July 2009.

Subject: [WiX-users] Unreadable Registry values created with WiX installer Hello, I have found a very strange problem. In my installer i'm creating several registry keys and values (COM assembly registration). They are all created without any issues, they are fully accessible using registry editor, they have sufficient permissions to be accessed by any local user, but when i try to open the keys and query values from my application, then some keys cannot be open and values read. When i delete the registry keys and create them manually (using reg file), then it works flawlessly. This problem occurs only on one testing machine (32bit Vista). After several days of struggle i'm starting to think, that there must a problem in Wix (3.0.5217.0). Does anyone have an idea what could be a cause of this strange problem? Wix? MSI? Malfunctioning testing system? Thanks for any reply.
