There's a bug in mined's postinstall script, or better, in the
/usr/share/mined/setup_install/bin/setupreg.sh script called from
the postinmstall script:

   $ /usr/share/mined/setup_install/bin/setupreg.sh
   The operation completed successfully.
   The operation completed successfully.
   ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value.

The reason is that, at least on Windows 7, there is no key called
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\SystemFileAssociations.

The result is that a user of Windows 7 gets a postinstall warning from
setup.exe because the mined postinstall script returns a non-zero exit
code.

Hi, thanks for the notice.
Actually I'm aware that there is this postinstall return problem also in Windows XP and I've fixed it but the code base isn't quite ready yet for the next release - can it still wait for a short while?
On the other hand, if the key doesn't exist because the mechanism has changed in Windows 7, I'm not sure what to do because I don't have W7 myself for testing - any advice by someone? Just some other key name perhaps?
Thanks
Thomas
