Did you try showing the tool the GUID key instead?

As far as I know, I don't have any control over what keys the tool looks for.

I just checked with R&D, our software does write under the TITLE key. Is the license file you installed for version 9.06?

If it is, the tool may be needing the values under the GUID.

I am using my IA 9.06 license file.

I agree with you that IA does write entries under the TITLE key, but not as many entries as under the GUID key.

IA does not write the MajorVersion and MinorVersion registry values under the TITLE key, and that's why the Windows 7 Logo Toolkit is unhappy.

This behavior has been updated in InstallAware 9 R2 as follows: the values are now recorded under both the {GUID} and the $TITLE$ keys.

Please help yourself to a release candidate of InstallAware 9 R2 to ensure it works to your satisfaction:
