Your MSI is built for x86 platforms. Build it for x64 if you don't want it to do that on x64 platforms.

Marinuzzi [mailto:nu...@hypack.com] Sent: 01 December 2010 13:09 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Registry Question... 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.
