Comment # 6 on bug 10867 from 
I also don't know how the Pascal's change could have caused this problem.

But when I look at wireshark.nsi, I see the following:

    ReadRegStr $WINPCAP_NAME HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\WinPcapInst" "DisplayName"

However, this is only true for my old Windows XP 32-bit PC.  On my Windows 7
64-bit PC, it looks like it should be:

    ReadRegStr $WINPCAP_NAME HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
"SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\WinPcapInst"
"DisplayName"

So to me, it looks like this is the real problem.
