I am using a 64-bit Windows 7 machine. I am installing our software with
the following script for the registry:
<Directory Id="INSTALLDIR" Name="My Software">
<Component Id="InstallDir_Key"
Guid="6F334E6C-DCB7-11DC-AAEA-00059A3C7800">
<RegistryValue Id="InstallDir_Key_Value" Root="HKLM"
Key="SOFTWARE\My Company\My Software" Name="InstallDir" Action="write"
Type="string" Value="[INSTALLDIR]" />
</Component>
</Directory>
On the 64 bit machine the registry value is coming back as:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\My Company
Why the Wow6432?
We have some NSIS scripts to install some files after the fact. I assume it
will not be able to find the key if I use:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\My Company
For the path in the script.
Thanks,
John
