What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. install plugin
2. look for o3d key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins

What is the expected output?
See o3d related key there

What do you see instead?
No o3d there

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.1.40.1, windows vista

What hardware are you using:  graphics card type?  motherboard type?
not relevant

Please provide any additional information below.
Browsers look for plugins in this registry path. Due to no o3d being registered 
there, some browsers can't find the plugin (tested with Opera but there might 
be 
others).

Yes, I agree. It would be nice if O3D would register its location through the 
registry key. As it stands, Chromium does not detect O3D as being installed 
whatsoever if it is not in the %appdata%\Mozilla\Plugins directory. I 
specifically avoid putting anything in there and install my plugins elsewhere 
(some go in their own folders, others go in the Fake4 plugin folder). This 
practice works fine for all of the other plugins except for O3D.
