Weird registry Setting Behaviour

See attached screenshot. You have added the "Create/update Registry Key and
Value" script command in Line 2. You can do this, sure. But you set the
real value for %_SB_INSTALLDIR% later in Line 30. So your write action in
Line 2 makes use of an empty %_SB_INSTALLDIR% value.

And another quick note: you are writing a "per-user" setting from an
elevated "per-machine" running application (the installer). Per-user
settings should never be done from an elevated running app!

Does this help?
