Stefan, Pete.... Ok, thats one of two!... The LocalMachine makes total sense..... the thing I'm insterested in now is why it didn't pull up your MXGuard installation. When I got guidance from Greg @ MXGuard, he indicated that IMail's SendName was the only key to detecting an older MXGuard installation ( Short of searching the entire drive. ) And that its key would be pointing at the imailtomxguard.exe.
So what is the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ipswitch\IMail\Global\SendName pointing at for your system, that it wouldn't detect the MXGuard call.... do you have something in between IMail and MXGuard that would mask the installer's detection.....
