I'm installing a BPL (without dll) Delphi Expert using this Windows registry key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Embarcadero\BDS\x.0\Known IDE Packages

As suggest the answer to this question, but the expert is not initializated by the delphi IDE. The expert only works when I use this key 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Embarcadero\BDS\x.0\Known Packages

What i'm missing? I need register the BPL (Package) in another place (Windows registry key) too ? I read the Erik’s Open Tools API FAQ but I can't found any resource or tip about the installation of a Delphi IDE Expert.

First of all, you should not be using that key... Even if you did succeed in using that key, the expert services aren't initialized and available at that point. What is wrong with using the normal Known Packages key?

If it is an IDE expert, why not use the 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Embarcadero\BDS\x.0\Experts

key directly?
