Hello,

the patch works (as expected).
Though you only need to add HKLM key but additonal HKCU might not hurt...

Out of curiosity, if you export the uninstall key from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER, and then remove the uninstall key from both locations on
WINDOWS, do you get the same crash?

Of course. You only need to remove HKLM uninstall key for proof.

msiexec /i "America's Army.msi" /l*v install.log

Produces same dialog 

--- snip windows msi log ---

The installer engine (ikernel) hangs at exit, after last final setup dialog is
closed, but that seems harmless.
The game is installed fine. The update (patch) to 2.81 fine too.

Though slightly off topic: That game uses PunkBuster.
If you push digital certificates verification (wintrust/crypt) implementation in
wine a little, i might look into possibility to get PunkBuster working
(executables are digitally signed).
This might be of some interest, due to PunkBuster being used in several major
multiplayer games.

Regards
