If your MSI is 32 bits then you don't use HKCR\Wow6432Node\CLSID, just HKCR\CLSID.
The Wow6432Node is required in Windows x64 to separate the x64 and the x86 registry; Look for Registry redirection in the MSDN library for more info :) Best regards, Albert van Peppen Senior System Engineer Insad Grafisch b.v. -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Sanjay Poria [mailto:sanjay.po...@xanalys.com] Verzonden: 11 October 2011 23:31 Aan: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Onderwerp: [WiX-users] Registry key issues on 64-bit Win 7 I have created a Wix installer for a 32-bit application (not .NET) which installs just fine. Recently, I had to create a COM Server written in .NET consisting of a single DLL which also had to be installed (and used by) my original application. So basically I wrote the COM server in C# (target=Mixed Platforms) with the relevant interface and class decorated with the required COM attributes by following the instructions in this post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3360160/how-do-i-create-an-activex-com-in-c Next I harvested the registry entries of the DLL and added the appropriate component into my installer (it installs into "Program Files (x86)\Company\ProductName") with the extracted entries. Now, Installing on my 64-Bit Win 7 machine, the component above writes the ProgId entries into HKCR but writes all elements of the form: <RegistryValue Root="HKCR" Into HKCR\Wow6432Node\CLSID This basically seems to break the COM server (eg, a VB Script fails to create the object). However, if I mark the new component as Win64="yes", the RegistryValue entries get installed into HKLM\Software\Classes and everything works although Wix gives me an error that I am installing a 64-bit component into 32bit INSTALLDIR. Can anybody provide guidance as to what I should be doing? Any help is appreciated. sanajy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
