Sweet. Running the regedit from System32 showed my registry entries, however in not very much expected location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\
It's pretty confusing for me, why does first found in path regedit doesn't show the whole registry? And why SysWow64-regedit shows only 32bit? One more thing to keep in mind. Do I have to mark all components of my setup like Win64="yes"? What is this Win64 attribute for? It's pretty confusing, when I ask installer to write entry to HKLM\SOFTWARE, it goes to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node. Is it possible to have the entry always written to HKLM\SOFTWARE instead of HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node on both XP and Vista, 64 and 32 versions? Phil and Bob, thanks for helping me to find missing registry entries! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Arnson Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2007 5:20 AM To: Wilson, Phil Cc: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Problem writing registry on Vista Wilson, Phil wrote: > Your log has a reference to Program Files (x86).

I got bit by this just yesterday -- regedit.exe launched from the shell's Run dialog, for example, is 64-bit while regedit.exe launched from my favorite 32-bit command-line shell is 32-bit. System32\regedit.exe sees the whole registry while SysWow64\regedit.exe sees only the 32-bit registry. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
