I haven't worked with it enough to know all the intracacies, but the short of what I know is if your template is i386, you can only install to 32-bit locations. If it is x64 or Intel64, then you can only install on machines of those architectures, and the 64-bit locations become available to components marked as 64-bit. > using _winreg is (almost) like using the API directly. > RegDisable[/Enable]ReflectionKey appears to let the 32bit process see the > real keys - I'm not aware of how 64bit apps would enable that reflection, > but it probably doesn't really matter for our purposes.

I'm more than happy to help test. Thanks, and I see he has, and perhaps I've been looking at an incorrect file... -- Michael Urman _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
