Pete,
Your doing what many people do -
would you run an install file that contained:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer]
"EnableUsToLog and RemotelyAccessYourPasswords"=dword:00000001
"FileWeWillUse"="$sys$.scr.com.ini.log"
or "CreateNewAdminUser"=dword:00000001
"NameIs"="TaMuchly"
"Password"="ThanksForYourMoney"
Just because you see groups of characters that could be considered part of
an entry and understand them as english words
doesn't mean the entry has any similar effect to your understanding of the
words
They are simply parameters that will indicate to something that something is
to: be done, not be done, or (not) be allowed to be done
And it's the Policies (Access Security) part of the registry into which you
are adding these permissions
I don't understand amuch about the registry, James.
EnableAdminTSRemote "...enables administrators to perform installations from
Terminal Server client sessions." Why would Corel want to do that?
I understand that Logging turns logging on when it has a value (any string,
right?).
By adding the lines that Corel sent to the Policies section, did I do something
that will affect my computer negatively?

Subject: Could Not Install PSP X
Had an interesting experience with Paint Shop Pro X and MS installer.
I purchased a copy for download but was unable to install it -- it would
crap out immediately.
The Corel tech support people passed along the following /msilogging.reg/
file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer]
"EnableAdminTSRemote"=dword:00000001
"Logging"="voicewarmup"
but it didn't even create a log file. (BTW, can anyone explain what the
does to the registry?)
I'm asking several questions:
Why would the installation fail for PSPX and work for another program?
Why did Corel want remote access enabled??
Thanks.
