The __Components are MSI things (for costing, IIRC). You can ignore them. The registry key path/name/value should not be case sensitive but whenever referring to an Id in the MSI you should assume that it is case sensitive (because it almost always is).

I'm eliding all the variants for other JREs and JDKs, and everything that follows is in the order stated. In the "with Java" case I see: MSI (s) (D8:0C) [13:20:06:562]: Component: FOO_JDK15; Installed: Absent; Request: Local; Action: Local ...

MSI (c) (74:D4) [13:20:25:328]: Doing action: MyExitDialog In the "without Java" case I see: MSI (s) (D8:24) [13:22:27:640]: Component: FOO_JDK15; Installed: Absent; Request: Local; Action: Null ...

MSI (c) (C0:28) [13:22:40:640]: Doing action: MyExitDialog So it certainly looks like it is installing the right FOO_* component each time, and the right HKLM\Software\foo\foo\14.4\Foo_* key created each time (I verified this using regedit as well). The "__FOO_*65" components are not AFAIK created by me. Where are they coming from? Apart from those components, it is logging what I was anticipating. Any suggestions on what to search for in the logs? Are component names and registry keys case-sensitive?
