It would be great if someone else would try it out and report if it works correctly - IMO it should be commited to the 2.3 maintanance branch before 2.3.3 goes out. (Suggestions for better wording would be accepted ;-)

I'm willing to trust you that you get this right.

Most of us probably aren't even aware that VS6 has different registry settings depending on whether it was ever invoked after being installed.

This is something I come across all the time with Microsoft product - in particular, we have a product which is a plugin to Microsoft Visio. Our installer currently has to detect that Visio is installed, but hasn't been run, and tell them to run it. I intend to rewrite the installer soon (from WISE to NSIS) and hopefully I'll be able to improve this behaviour ... Tim Delaney
