I got that far, but the problem is that any time I try to manipulate the registry, it's throwing "System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Cannot write to the registry key." even though I'm an Administrator. (Note that this is with Microsoft.Win32) and as I stated in the original message, the Registry key created by the installer is a duplicate of the (Default), not updating the default.

Here's how to do it: 1) Install your assemblies to something like "C:\Program Files\Your Company\Your Product\" 2) Register your assemblies in the GAC 3) You create a key under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\.NETFramework\AssemblyFolders for each of your assemblies with a name of "Assembly.Name" (no .dll) and a default value that points to the location the assembly was installed in step 1.
