I would like to thank Phil (and others on this list) for the assistance in tracking down this problem. The core problem is related to the following attempt to write this registry value when the value of the SDA property is not an integer:
<RegistryValue Root="HKMU" Key="$(var.Release_CompanyRegKey)" Name="SDA" Value="[SDA]" Type="integer" KeyPath="yes" /> It was introduced several weeks ago when I changed how the SDA property was initialized. I incorrectly assumed that my mba would initialize this property's value. However when the on-demand install kicks in after the initial install of the burn bundle, (with this msi marked to be published as an advertised feature), this property was not initialized and was blank. (This is why this problem only showed up when an on-demand, after a first-install of the bundle was done. In all other scenarios the mba provided a default value.). The msi error (reporting an access problem with the key location) was related to the attempt at runtime to resolve #[SDA] when SDA was an uninitialized string and not a valid integer. The permissions error did not relate to the location of where the registry value was to be created or the context of the user as implied in the message. Thanks again for your help in understanding this issue.
