   Subject: help requested for my msi package
   Message:
Hi,
   we are using Windows XP, Vista and 7.  I have created a working msi package  
for scribus 1.3.3.12.  I created another working msi package for Ghostscript  
8.71.  I'm trying to create a package for scribus 1.3.7, but it doesn't work.

   I've deployed my GhostScript 8.71 msi and Microsoft Visual C++ 2005  
Redistributable.  My Scribus 1.3.7 msi contains the following files :

Everything in the C:\Program Files\Scribus 1.3.7 folder.
I took the Scribus folder in the User's application data folder and put it in  
the default user (we use delprof, so users will have this folder)
C:\Documents and Settings\[User]\Application Data\Scribus\charpalette.ucp
C:\Documents and Settings\[User]\Application Data\Scribus\checkfonts.xml
C:\Documents and Settings\[User]\Application Data\Scribus\prefs135.xml
C:\Documents and Settings\[User]\Application Data\Scribus\scribus135.rc

The following folder are created, but are empty :

C:\Documents and Settings\[User]\Application Data\Scribus\scrapbook
C:\Documents and Settings\[User]\Application Data\Scribus\scrapbook\main
C:\Documents and Settings\[User]\Application Data\Scribus\scrapbook\tmp

My registry keys are the following :

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.sla]
@="Scribus.Document"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Scribus.Document]
@="Scribus Document"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Scribus.Document\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\Program Files\\Scribus 1.3.7\\Scribus.exe,1"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Scribus.Document\shell]
@="open"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Scribus.Document\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Scribus.Document\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Scribus 1.3.7\\Scribus.exe\" \"%1\""

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.sla]
@="Scribus.Document"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Scribus.Document]
@="Scribus Document"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Scribus.Document\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\Program Files\\Scribus 1.3.7\\Scribus.exe,1"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Scribus.Document\shell]
@="open"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Scribus.Document\shell\open]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Scribus.Document\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Scribus 1.3.7\\Scribus.exe\" \"%1\""

I get an error saying the application couldn't start because of the  
configuration and that reinstalling might solve the problem.  Can someone  
tell me what I'm missing in my msi package ?

Thanks.
