looks more like the log of your last filesearches...
I tryed to find out what is happening with a registry monitor, but it failed
opening
the keys it wanted to open.
More interesting is the log of a filemonitor

Are you able to find out if this pncrt.dll was there before you installed
realproducer?
Maybe we should distribute it together with the other dlls?
