Try changing the check to check for the existens of the written Blob
value instead of the plain key:

check type=registry condition=exists
path=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\ROOT\Certificates\910C309AD02F637DE043158A04ADDBE468E0422A\Blob
/

In addition it looks a bit to me like the XML sniplet you used above is
not valid XML (closing tag of check node missing). Well, I might be too
tired at the moment...

Well, getting closer on this one. After a week off due to a server
changeover I've had a chance to play with this more in my test environment.
Getting hits on the log file now, but the edits still aren't applying.
I've tried as both SYSTEM and using Administrator Cridentials with the
same results.

The message is actually quite clear here. The registry key does not seem
to exist. Could you please post the content of morrisoncert.reg as
well as the package definition (XML sniplet) of the 'morrisoncert' package?

 Hmm, revision 0? Will that work?

Yes, it should actually work. The revision just needs to be any integer
number (and 0 is a valid integer).

Well, the OP uses regedit.exe /s. I usually use the reg tool to
directly manipulate registry keys.

It might be that regedit.exe cannot read the reg file from %SOFTWARE%
since it is an UNC path or it contains spaces. Probably the OP should
try to quote the commands:

 install cmd='regedit.exe /s %SOFTWARE%\autoupdates.reg' /

 All other packages that I am installing seem to go off without a hitch,
 but for some reason this one is consistently skipped. Included  is the
 log file and copies of my profile.xml, package.xml for this particular
 package. Is there some base setting that I am missing that is causing
 the registry edit to be skipped?
