Re: [WiX-users] Can not write registry vlue on 64bit system

If the installer runs in 32-bit mode, the registry value is written in the Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\... key. 32-bit applications will still find it at the right place as Windows maps that. Best regards, Sebastian Brand Instyler Setup - Creating WiX-based MSI installations, elegantly. http
