Visual Studio Installer

[Phil Chadwick]

I have tried to use the Visual Studio Installer (Windows XP) regarding
automating registry entries for smart tags (not letting users make them
manually). I launch the installer with Start --> Programs --> Microsoft
Visual Studio 6.0 --> Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 Enterprise Tools -->
Visual Studio Installer

Following the steps in the microsoft page:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnsmarttag/html/odc_deployst.asp?frame=true

I got stuck in step 5 which says:

"Expand the Registry on Target Machine folder, and then expand the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder"

My problem is, after I double-click on "Registry" in the Project
Explorer, in the left pane of the registry editor, under "Registry On
Target Machine", there is no + node in front of the 4 folders. The 4
HKEY folders are not expandable! Why?

Regards

Thats a pretty specialized inquiry you've got there! Have you considered
a post in one of the microsoft.public.vstudio groups?
