It is.  I understand there are now alternatives to registering objects
directly in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, but its not an itch I've had yet, and its not
obvious how I should determine where the correct place to register is (eg,
retry after failure, require explicit param, etc) and how this interacts
with Vista (where a better solution in some cases will be be to arrange for
the installation program to ShellExecute a copy it itself requesting
elevation.)  I'd welcome a consensus though :)

Cheers,

Mark
