Hi Stuart

a few things come to mind.

First make sure you download the latest FAR Beta and try again.
There have been some tweaks in that area.

Can you try again and send me the H2Reg LOG file so can
see better what is happening.

Early versions of VS 2005 wouldn't autodetect the change - You had
to use that switch that forced the merge at registration time.
However I'd be sure you have an RTM version of VS.
And of course try this on other machines too incase you have a quirky setup.

Cheers
Rob
