Travis,

It appears that you are calling the API correctly. If you are not getting
any errors back from the call to the interface then your implementation of
the interface in C# should be correct. From what I have seen it looks to be
correct. In fact our C# guy said that you have done a great job with the
interface definition conversions.

So, what the heck is going on?!!

Congratulations, you just found Windows OS Bug, number 003865! ;-)

The fact that you are seeing the StiProxyEvent key hang around in the
registry is not because of an error on your part but rather because of a
known code defect in the Windows 2k - XP coded base. This bug was found
internally and reported in our bug database. It has been scheduled to be
fixed for the next release of the Windows OS (Longhorn).

As a workaround for this code defect, we (the PSS Dev team) are
recommending that you remove the registry key for your registered
application manually (via the registry APIs). However, if you don't need to
remove this key we recommend that you just leave it. The registry key you
mention, along with a few others related to the STI API, are not published
and therefore subject to change for the next release of the OS.

Thanks,

James
