I used CeRegistryEditor to extract the values in question.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TodayAgenda]
"FontSize"=dword:FFFFFFFF

I run that through the rgu to xml application:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<wap-provisioningdoc>
  <!--
Today Agenda
 -->
  <characteristic type="Registry">
    <characteristic type="HKCU\Software\TodayAgenda" translation="filesystem">
      <parm name="FontSize" datatype="integer" value="4294967295" />
    </characteristic>
  </characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>

There are a number of other settings that are in the xml, too - but this is the one that is preventing the cab from installing properly.

Any thoughts that you might have are certainly welcome and appreciated.

And this is well out of the range of the integer value...2147483647

You need to use base64 for this and xml. I'm trying to finger it out now. (learning/googling) A quick call to the colonel may help as he uses the same method when defining binary data in his themes...
Example: the "Manilla Theme" in ppcgeek_oem.rar

Thanks for the pointer to the Manilla Theme provxml ...

So I presume that this entry

<parm name="FontSize" datatype="integer" value="4294967295" />

becomes as follows

<parm name="FontSize" value="/////w==" datatype="binary" />

... after converting the original HEX FFFFFFFF to Base64, using this:

Careful, though - I think it has a trojan in the installer ... Kapersky denied the trojan (or so it said =8^o ) and the app works perfectly.

Unfortunately, TodayAgenda doesn't appear to like the non-integer/hex registry entry.

EDIT: After correcting the parm name to FontSize ... it appears to have worked like a charm.
