May be a stupid question, but why use a "regedit" to write to the registry. Why not using basic MSI registry functionality in a component, or installscript in a custom action. And if "active setup" is through windows activated on 64-Bit and you call "regedit", which version is used from windows ?

The next one -7235 from the software identification tag could be resolved if you disable this in the general information "Use Software Identification Tag" -> No. hope that helps you a little bit. ...
