...now again with shortened body to not break the size-limit of the 
mailing-list:

Even if the other solution with the named object sounds like the most elegant 
version, I'd
would probably go with the simplest (k.i.s.s), as the room for breakage is the 
least

(and not being totally unselfish, I see hope that this might still slip into 
the 3.8 release,
whereas the other one would probably need more coding & testing ;-)

Concerning the run-key-approach: so that would mean in case the local system 
has on
OS lower than Vista, the Run-key is used instead of the RunOnce - correct?

What if on XP Burn writes to the Run key instead? That's actually what we did 
in for all OSes in the early days of Burn. We had to move to the RunOnce key to 
ensure on restart the Bundle launched elevated and the user would not be 
prompted for elevation post-restart. Fortunately, on XP we don't have to worry 
about elevation.



This could also be the most straight forward fix if it works.  I'm hoping the 
"runonce.exe" just runs the runonce key. <smile/>
