Yes. That's why it *does* read the registry.

Setup doesn't produce these messages. Which setup were you using?

I'll try. Win32's not as helpful as it could be.
> At the end of the install, error:
>> Cannot open (null) for writing.

Setup doesn't print the message that way. The closest message setup
has is "Can't open %s for writing: %s". Again, which setup are you
running?
