Summary0005826: Installer not working correctly on Windows 7 x64
DescriptionI was not able to replicate this issue until I made Clean install oF Win 7 x64 RC

Thing is that if you regularly start installer Automatization Server registry entries are not Created Correctly unless you Start MediaMonkey Installer in Win XP Compatibility Mode.

Note MediaMonkey works without issues when it is started but can't be used in programming environments due the fact that MediaMonkey.exe is not registered Automatization server. It looks that compatibility mode puts 32Bit Virtualization of Windows XP and apron exit properly import created Registry entries.

Petr, any idea how to easily apply the fix specified in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/899965 directly in MM?

Peke, we're already having permission granting routine in MM (Vista or newer system). Isn't that any already fixed internal Windows 7 bug (as you've mentioned, this issue is related to clear installation) ? I'm using Windows 7 x64 since first beta and never had problem like this.

I never had issues with permitions either, but I was able to replicate Issue when I installed clean Win 7 x64 RC.

The thing I noticed that MEDIAMONKEY.EXE have enough permitions to write to Registry CLASSID noted in MS Spec I wonder if we can apron startup re-register all CLASSIDS or Make an small APP that will do that after MM setup is done and started in raised Permitions.

My guess is that Digital Signature is counted also.

Additionally I've found that same thing happen if I deny access to MM Setup in ZoneAlarm. But Again MediaMonkey.exe do not report that problem.

I've done more tests and definitely app that have enough Registry access (Apps that have verified Digital Signature) can create ClassID without problem which means that MM setup do not have it.

That can be confirmed if Win 7 is put in in Test/Dev Mode where Win 7 do not verify digital signatures Setup is working.

Maybe Newer setup version will fix that. or maybe x64 version if exist.

Still not fixed but I've found way how to determine where is the problem and what Compatibility Solution should be applied.

When in Windows 7 x64 you right click on MediaMonkey_3.1.2.1266_Debug.exe you will get Compatibility Troubleshooting option. In case you chose that Windows 7 tries to show and execute MediaMonkey_3.1.2.1266_Debug.exe with recommended settings InooSetup is detected as Windows XP (SP2) Application.

EDIT: Note that in case it is not run in Compatibility Mode Task bar player is not registered correctly and can't be selected

Added internal /ELEVATE parameter so this issue should be fixed in 1271. Feel free to reopen when this issue appear again.

I've just installed MM to clean Windows 7 x64 installation without any problem.
Also server registration is processed together with extensions association (near installer finish).
