After updating ADE on one of my computers, and getting the key error, I uninstalled the new version, cleaned the ADEPT registry keys, and rebooted.

I then installed the old version, activated it, then re-ran ineptkey, and retrieved adeptkey.der again. Then I was back in business.

I then updated again, and still have no problems. I think that Ultra-Edit and/or my anti-virus registry/script blocker caused me problems the first time around.

I say Ultra-Edit because I had set the file association to just about everything HTML, and the ADE website Launch button wasn't working right. So I manually installed it the first time, which uninstalled the old version first. Whereas if you update when ADE tells you need to, and when it opens the ADE website, choose the Launch button to just do an update.

Maybe this will help someone. If anyone needs help finding the registry keys to delete, let me know.
