You are right.
If the given registry does not exist, WPKG will do the action.
After WPKG installs or upgrades, it will do the check once again - if 
the check condition is still not met, WPKG considers that the 
installation failed.
This is your case.


Perhaps you shouldn't use the registry checks, unless you really really 
need to.

Adobe Reader has a nice entry in Software Add/Remove, why won't you 
check on that?
