I'm asked to retry or cancel.

But that seems to be the only chance (see below).

This key does NOT exist after installing BTS2004 without a successful
configuration. Apparently, the configuration framework creates the
ENTSSO service including any related registry keys. So there is
nothing I can try here.

It's really a pity that BTS2004 cannot be configured on XP Home for
such subtle reasons.
