[wix-users] Uppercase Registry Key

[Scott Ferguson]

Thank you Walter and David for your help.

Indeed, it wasn't related to the case of the key like you suggested. I had forgotten to include the reference in my product file. Doh!

The registry on windows is like the file system and is not case sensitive.

Look at the log to see what it says it is doing with that component.

I don't know for sure but I'd be more suspicious of it being a 32-bit installer, 64-bit OS, and maybe a .Net application. That stuff gets weird fast.
