[pubcookie-users] Hints on how to brute force the windows installer?

[Phil Jochimsen]

Nathan,

Thanks for adding the note about this behavior.

One other thing under the "known issues" heading that caught my eye:

*MMC adds empty registry keys.* The MMC extension adds empty, harmless, 
but nevertheless extraneous registry keys when you open the Pubcookie 
Directives tab.


Correct me if I am wrong, but the MMC on IIS 6.0 w/3.3.0a only adds 
extraneous, empty registry keys if you use the "apply" button in the 
website properties box -- only using "ok" button is what I do to avoid 
the extra reg keys.

Thanks,
