Incorrect registry key (yourapp.exe) generated by windows installshield

The registry key/values are created by your installshield:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersio n\App =
Paths\yourapp.EXE
(Default) C:\mysql\yourapp.Exe
Path C:\mysql

This is incorrect. I believe the correct value should be something =
like:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersio n\App =
Paths\mysql.EXE
(Default) C:\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt.exe
Path C:\mysql

Following is a link to the installshield page which talks about this =
key: http://www.installshield.com/aboutus/news/newsletter/0103_ti ps.asp

I was hoping to use this key to detect if (and where) the user had =
installed mysql. Given that this key is incorrect, can you suggest =
another way?

Thanks,
Dave Eccleston
