[mapguide-users] Missing Coordinate Systems

On multiple installations of MapGuide OS 1.2 RC2, there are no 
coordinate systems installed.

If I access the http://<hostname>/mapguide/mapagent/index.htm, choose 
Coordinate System and EnumerateCategories i get:

<StringCollection><Item>Arbitrary X-Y Coordinate Systems</Item></StringCollection>


Trying the same on the "Live Application Gallery servers gives:"

<StringCollection><Item>Arbitrary X-Y Coordinate Systems</Item><Item>EPSG</Item><Item>World/Continental</Item></StringCollection>

The latter is the desired result.
For any server, the "GetBaseLibrary" call returns: "PROJ4 Coordinate 
System Library"

I can see no errors in any of the log files.
It might be related to  ticket 209, 
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/ticket/209.

Tracking it, reveals that a registry entry 
"HKLM\SOFTWARE\MapGuideOpenSource\CoordinateSystem" specifies:
C:\Program Files\MapGuideOpenSource\WebServerExtensions\www\nad
Where the PROJ_LIB specifies:
PROJ_LIB=C:\Program Files\MapGuideOpenSource\Server\nad

I have no idea where each entry comes from, as both machines have had 
1.1 installed.
However, the "categories.txt" is NOT located in
C:\Program Files\MapGuideOpenSource\Server\nad
but can be copied from:
C:\Program Files\MapGuideOpenSource\Server\bin

Copying the file makes the coordinate categories appear.
