msiexec is unregistering
I am trying to find out how to stop msiexec.exe from unregistering after I uninstall a recently captured application. Has anyone run into this? If so, what is the best way to fix it?
Currently I have to boot into SafeMode in order to re-register msiexec.exe.
Thank you!

You must have captured the msiexec getting registered in your snapshot. Normally you wouldn't want to do that. You have to find where that is happening and remove it from being installed in your MSI.
Just for fun, I did a regmon and found these interesting results:
This is by no means exhaustive - and use at your own risk! But it might help you in looking for the components where this stuff is being installed.
Personally, I'd just do the snapshot process again from the beginning, only this time make sure that msiexec is already registered before you begin.
