I have the same problem, but with 32-bit Vista. Obviously the same keys are not going to work. Is there a simple process I can follow to get the right keys?
I tried editing the GatRegistry and make it the same as GtxRegistry in ht msi file, but to no avail.

Wouldn’t it just be easier just to have an XP box lying around then to jerk around with the registry? This is the sort of stuff that I hate about Linux, code cowboys just schlep out code without testing and expect the end user to reverse engineer it so that they can fix it themselves. I thought that the Microsoft crowd worked with a higher standard. Sorry if I seem to be taking it out on anyone here, just a little frustrated with all of the time that I wasted.

Hi Josh, I have been trying to install MSCF following your solution and have got much further, but still not quite there… I used the orca viewer and have tried several combinations of copying the value from the GTXRegistry row to the GatRegistry row and also removing the launch conditions involving GAT and GAX. This allows me to enter the adventureworks database server and the installer goes part way through configuring IIS /sql server etc but then fails with error 2356 which i believe is a corruption in the package (perhaps the msi now fails to compare with a hash?). Would it be possible to send me your msi? it would be very much appreciated… Thanks for getting me this far anyway… dumbterminal..
