Ah yes, of course. Process Monitor shows that the installer wants
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework\sdkInstallRootv2.0
(that's HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\sdkInstallRootv2.0 for
those with 32-bit Windows) which it cannot find (since the layout did
indeed change). Creating a string value by that name (and the correct
content) worked. Someone screwed up backwards compatibility ... or
AdaCore wasn't folliwing documented procedure.

*facepalm*

Sadly, Process Monitor wasn't so helpful with that other problem.
