Duplicate program class key in registry

I discovered a duplicate program class key in HKCR for
Microsoft.ITIR.WordWheelBuild.5.4. The first key has a default value of
"Microsoft Infotech ITIR Word Wheel Build" and the second is
"Microsoft.ITIR.WordWheelBuild.5.4". They both have the same CLSID of
{3E6C7FFD-743D-4265-8E3D-0D7EA889DFDB} which is itircl54.dll. Other systems I
have checked have only the first key. The questions I have are:

1. Shouldn't program class keys must be unique?

2. What is the possible affect of deleting second (assumed to be duplicate)
key?

3. What is WordWheelBuild 5.4?
 
What problem is this causing?

Dave,

I am not sure if it causing a problem. If I knew what accesses the registry
key and how, I would be able to connect a problem to it (such as Word opening
slowly). It may be that whenever itircl54.dll is invoked it tries to access
the key expecting a singleton and aborts.

If indeed program class keys must be unique then it is something that needs
to be fixed before it causes a more serious error.

It's a Microsoft® InfoTech IR Local DLL. You can try re-registering it.

regsvr32 /u C:\fullpathtodll
regsvr32 C:\fullpathtodll

You might try asking them here about the other issue.
