RE: Apache Tomcat 9.0.8 install check
Shawn, You were right. When I changed to check for registry under Wow6432Node, then program could check prerequisites correctly.

Am I checking wrong registry? Do you think it could be possible that the tomcat installer and your checking program are different architectures? A 32-bit Windows program will see a different registry location for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE than a 64-bit program will. A 64-bit program can see the 32-bit location as HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WoW64 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_on_Windows Thanks, Shawn - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
