That is what I was thinking of.  If I understand correctly, another 
side-effect of that option is that HKEY_CURRENT_USER is used rather than 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.  I am guessing that the 3rd party extensions are 
looking only on HKLM for the "InstallPath" registry entry and not 
finding it.

I could obviously be off-base though.
