Hmm.  Well, if it's only setup that needs the registry entry, and if 
multiple setups, regardless of <path-to-setup>, are using the same fixed 
registry entry serially, what's the point of the registry entry? 
Remembering where the last setup's root was?  Which could have been 
moved by the user afterwards?
