The problem seems to occur on machines having InstallShield
Developer 7 installed and is due to a missing interface IEnumVARIANT with
interface ID {00020404-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}. If you actually look
for this GUID in the registry, you will find it under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Interface which is totally the wrong place, it should be
under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Interface, so you can export the
wrong key, edit the reg file and reimport and you should be able to build the install project.
