Possibly, the point is that how do you know that:
this particular location within the Policies section of the registry,
EnableAdminTSRemote "...enables administrators to perform installations from
Terminal Server client sessions."
I read it at MSDN, I believe
and
Logging turns logging on when it has a value (any string, right?).
Ditto.
I'm not saying that
adding the lines that Corel sent to the Policies section, you did something
that will affect my computer negatively?
The point is do you know what it did, and how did you find out just what it
did to effect the processes that are run, or permitted to run within that
system
I wrote to Corel tech support telling him how the install of PSP X failed. He suggested
using "selective startup" so that no apps and only MS services were running,
but that didn't help.
Then he said, "I would like for you to log the install so we can try to determine
what might be causing the failure." and gave me the following instructions:
"Download msilogging.reg and remove_msilogging.reg from our FTP server"
"Make sure no programs are running on the computer."
"Empty %temp%"
"Enable MSI logging by clicking on msilogging.reg"
"Try running the program installation again"
"Got to %temp% and look for files with extension LOG"
And that's what I did.
I have no idea what it did (except that I know that it changed the registry. I
have no idea how it affected any processes, if in fact it did.
Now here's what I don't get:
Essentially, my point is that nobody should assume that the English language
connotation of a key or its value actually means/indicates what happens with
that value present in that key!
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer]
"EnableAdminTSRemote"=dword:00000001
"Logging"="voicewarmup"
Are you saying that dword:00000001 is meaningless, that "voicewarmyp" is
meaningless, both are meaningless, neither are meaningless, or none of the above?
