Hello Michael.
Thanks for your input (and Juan and Austin).
Peter, are you sure that windows will handle REG_SZ *only* in the DependOnService case and fail if you have a REG_SZ in DependOnGroup?
No. But i did not want to change the behavior for anything else than the scenario that i had been investigating and testing, to avoid regressions. But i am confident that the similar behavior can be found for DependOnGroup if you look into it. That is another patch however, which i do not want to mix into this one.
I have re-submitted the patch,
Thanks,
/pedro
