Do you actually have a 64-bit build of your extension DLL? You can't load a 32-bit DLL into a 64-bit process. There is an API to turn off the file system redirection (which makes all of your 32-bit process's requests for System32 instead go to SysWow64), but I'm not aware of an API to turn off the registry redirection. You need to specify KEY_WOW64_64KEY in the permission field of RegOpenKeyEx to access the 64-bit hive from a 32-bit application. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
