Problem Deploy Registry

I created a key  in the registry of my Smart Device Cab Project at:

HKKEY_CURRENT_USER/SOFTWAR/%Manufacturer%

Key:     Server
Value:   192.168.1.2

However when the project is installed. I have no value in the Server key.

I read the vsKnownIssues.rtf
But doesn't work for me, not even with double qutations at the end "192.168.1.2"

I wonder if there is another work around, (For now i use default settings from within my program to add to the registry, this works fine, but i want to change it in my deploy)

Issue Title:

Registry value in Smart Device CAB project does not work as expected on device.

 

Problem Description: 

String registry values specified in a Smart Device CAB project do not work as expected after CAB is installed on device.

 

Work Around:

Add an additional double quote mark (“) in front of the registry value, for example, “”value”.

    I tried this scenario with the latest bits. This is working fine.  I am able to add the string value properly.

    Sorry, using Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2, it even doesn't work for me.
    I really don't understand where Microsoft found this workaround ;-)

    The RC build (50727.26) is now also available for download on the MSDN download site.

    That's nice thanks for testing,
    how do i get the latetst bits,
    or where do i find the difference
    Because i tried under %manufacturer% to create a key Server with Value "Hallo"
    and tested this as a pocketPc2003 emulator, and that didn't work too.
