Yeah, of course, since LongInt($80000001), before typecasting to HKEY,
is specifically a signed constant. So obvious!!

If HKey is unsigned, then yes, the definition should be
HKEY(DWORD($80000001)). I do wonder why Win64 produces that particular
error though because the final destination is an unsigned 64-bit integer.
Because QWord(some not so big negative number) = some large positive number.
