Yes, after I posted my question, I saw in anotyher post that says value
should end with double null characters.
When trying a solution, I created a key with a different name, and copied
the values to the same values in that key. When I clicked OK, it said the
value cannot include empty lines and it will clean the empty lines. Then I
looked at the values and there is one empty line et the end. So I thought the
other key is corrupted, but I was wrong.
I will unistall and reinstall with version 1 of the installer. I hope it
works.
