I can't use semi-custom-actions for this particular piece of work because I need to call an API to get permission to create, delete, or modify these particular registry keys. I work at a security company where they have implemented additional security features through drivers that disallow normal interactions with certain resources. Otherwise, I would totally use the semi-custom-action approach. I use it right now to add rows to the RemoveFile table depending on whether we're uninstalling for an upgrade or not.
In any case, RegDelete appears broken to me. At a minimum, the bitness should be incorporated into the RegOpen call. Should I file a bug to track?
