Is it possible to get this setup with the MPE1 installer?

UAC issue?

UAC is off. The fonts are copy to windows/fonts. But they are not registered.

Maybe dukus can help?

I can't reproduce this error, but i get more reports about it, i think it is w7 or vista related.
I use for register font :

[DllImport("gdi32")]
public static extern int AddFontResource(string lpFileName);

Maybe it is exist a more safe way to register a font file, but i don't know about it ....

Anyone else notice that if the fonts are in a compressed state, they will not register if trying to unpack there directly, I know they are unpacked to a temp folder before being moved by some of the installers, but the only way I have found to get fonts registered correctly is unpack to desktop prior to moving to the fonts folder, and thats using a full admin account

As the fonts are available as a separate download (and not likely to change). Is it possible to create a new installer. This makes updating a lot easier.... Not ideal I know and we need to look at sorting out the fonts via installer but would still be good....

Dukus, I think you should also do a call to "SendMessage" to notify the OS that a new font is installed.
Sample code:

Ret = FontInstall.AddFontResource(FontPath); 
Res = FontInstall.SendMessage(HWND_BROADCAST, WM_FONTCHANGE, 0, 0); 
Ret = FontInstall.WriteProfileString("fonts", FontName + " (TrueType)", FontFileName);

function definition:

[DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError=true)]
static extern int WriteProfileString( string lpszSection, string lpszKeyName, string lpszString) ; 

[DllImport("user32.dll")] 
public static extern int SendMessage(int hWnd, // handle to destination window 
uint Msg, // message 
int wParam, // first message parameter 
int lParam // second message parameter 
); 

[DllImport("gdi32")] 
public static extern int AddFontResource(string lpFileName);

EDIT: Const definition:

const int WM_FONTCHANGE = 0x001D; 
const int HWND_BROADCAST = 0xffff;
