Under HKLM... there's a hierarchy of keys, under Active Setup, then
Installed Components, there's a specific key, that contains a value
called stubpath (hint: search for stubpath in your registry).

That contains the value of an executable (ie4uinit.exe). Delete the
value (ie stubpath), and you I don't think you'll have the problem
again.

Just for interest, after applying an update, check whether this value is
recreated - I don't think it likely will, but you never know.
