@whs: I just looked at your screen shot again. It appears you skipped the "Local Settings" key. You want the Software\Microsoft\CurrentVersion under "Local Settings" not the one just in Classes.

That's great. So if I pass on some info to you, can you do all the registry searching for me? :):)

jd, very right. I skipped "Local settings". You have a sharp eye. Thank you. Now I found it. And since MPC is happy too, we are now all a happy family.

How do you think I feel. Makes me look like a real dummy.

I missed it for a while too. It wasn't until I figured out the key had to be there from a couple checks in a virtual machine and I took another look at the screen shot to figure out the problem. I noticed that my registry key didn't have a Run or Deployment key so I looked again and found the problem.
I'm not sure what the purpose of the Classes\Software key is as the Virtual Machine didn't have it but I think my real install has it.
Some program must be setting that key. Not sure what though.

Edit: @whs: Don't feel to bad, we all have made silly mistakes like that and then wonder how we missed it.

I thank you for the complement, but it is not true what you say.
