Procmon says the registry keys get deleted by the msiexec process. I haven't worked with procmon before, so what information could help you?
The problem is not reproducible on all XP machines. If window update KB982524 is installed we don't see this behavior. If a machine hasn't installed this update e.g. because it has no .Net 2 or .Net 3.5 installed, we see the error quite often, especially if no network connection exists. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Rob Mensching [mailto:r...@robmensching.com] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 14.

Can you try using procmon to watch the registry and see what is deleting the key? On Tue, Feb 12, 2013 at 7:02 AM, Ogrodowski, Sabine (ehem.
