Re: winreg.setRootKey is not a function

Judging by the install log, that snippet is your entire install.js 
(error on Line 1, etc).

Most install commands won't work except within an install "transaction" 
delimited by initInstall() and performInstall() or cancelInstall(). 
getWinRegistry() will return null to signal the error, and 
null.setRootKey() is not going to work.
