I am trying to make an installer for a plugin that will register on Vista and Win7 machines.

Old method:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Decal\Plugins\{273c725a-6f49-4ba9-866e-32c220f981a0}]
"ZappyLog"
"Assembly"="ZappyLog.dll"
"Enabled" = "1"
"Object"="ZappyLog.PluginCore"
"Path"="C:\\Games\\ZappyLogger\\"
"Surrogate"="{71A69713-6593-47EC-0002-0000000DECA1}"

New method?

Make sure you have a blank (will display as (Default) string key that is the name of the plugin as you want it to appear in decal. I don't think that would cause a failing issue, though. Perhaps try a single \ instead of your double?

Here are mine:

(Default) REG_SZ plugin game
Assembly REG_SZ dll name
Enabled REG_DWORD 1
Object REG_SZ Namespace.Class (e.g., RareTracker.PluginCore)
Order REG_SZ blah
Path REG_SZ path to Assembly
Surrogate REG_SZ {71A69713-6593-47EC-0002-0000000DECA1}

We are like dwarfs sitting on the shoulders of giants. We see more and things that are more distant than they did,
not because our sight is superior or because we are taller than they, but because they raise us up and their
great stature adds to ours

So far #acdev folks have helped me to figure out it is a "user permissions or wtfever windows is calling their permissions this version" type issue.

I think if I make an installer and the installer is run as administrator, then it should register as the same file normally did in previous versions of Windows.
