I realize the spec says that if "App" is not supplied, then the default is "GREUser". However, if the installer is supplied the "app_path" param without the "app" param, the value of "app_path" is reflected in the GREUser AppList entry in the registry. This may not be the desired effect. Also, the spec states that "app_path" is required when "app" is used. This is not true in the current installer behavior. The "app" param may be used without the "app_path" param. The end result is an entry in the AppList with a null PathtoExe entry.

Topembed- per EDT triage. Pls renominate, by removing the minus from "topembed-", should you believe this effects embedding customers.
assuming sean is responsible for these as well since curt is no longer with us.
