I have just uninstalled my Evaluation copy of InstallShield 12 which I used to setup our build server.  Unluckily, my TestDriven.NET addin suddenly is not behaving properly.  My officemate who also had his IS12 copy uninstalled currently have the same problem.

After doing an ad hoc run tests (right-click -> run tests), Visual Studio switches its output window to a test console output but no tests are run.  The ProcessInvocation process is not launched (one with this red icon on system tray).  I have tried to reinstall TD.NET twice to no avail.  I couldn't rely on Resharper's test runner since it does not detect MbUnit tests as valid TestFixtures.  WTF!

I have tried the reset switch for visual studio, still the runner is not launched, need help!

[UPDATE] I tried reinstalling IS 12 last night and TD.NET works.  I got an email from Jamie this morning that IS12 uninstall could have unregistered important COM components so we just added the following keys and TD.NET is now working without IS12.
