Yeah, it’s not automatically doing it in every case. Weird. So this should be
all I need?

That key should automatically be removed after the program is installed.
If you wanted to put a check in, I would put it above the
Show-InstallationPrompt.
I would also use the built in functions to look for the registry key and remove
it if it exists.
It's covered in the documentation: Get-RegistryKey, Remove-RegistyKey.

We’re deploying the latest Java release using the toolkit, but a few users have
had a problem launching IE after it installs. This article explains:
http://psappdeploytoolkit.codeplex.com/discussions/554051
In our case, the registry key causing the issue is located in
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution
Options\iexplore.exe. The Debugger key reads:
“wscript.exe
"C:\Users\Public\PSAppDeployToolkit\AppDeployToolkit_BlockAppExecutionMessage.vbs"
Someone in the comments recommended some PowerShell code that could remove the
registry entry that is causing the issue. I am looking to add this to the
post-installation section of Deploy-Application.ps1. Can someone take a look at
the code below and confirm this should do the trick? Thanks!
