Summary: Unexpected row created with default value in Registry
Initial Comment:
Using Orca, I see that the following Registry tag creates
two registry rows. One empty name/value pair and one
valid one. I thnk the valid one is overwritten by the empty
one resulting in no default key getting created.
<Registry Key="{SOMEGUID-C88B-495F-BB18-
209F9696FBE4}">
<Registry Value="MyComName" Type="string" />
</Registry>
The following registry tag results in correct (one row)
creation.
<Registry Key="{SOMEGUID-C88B-495F-BB18-
209F9696FBE4}"
Value="MyComName" Type="string">
</Registry>
This seems (to me at least) to be unexpected behaviour
because both of the above entries should generate
similar results.

Ok, this has now been fixed by creating an entirely new
schema for the Registry table which should make it much more
difficult to accidentally create an accidental registry entry.

I agree that this behavior is very unfortunate. It was a known
issue from the beginning but the feature seemed worthwhile
even if it had to be used carefully. We need to do something
better but the change will be destabilizing so the current plan
is to address this in WiX v3.0.
