Hi,

I use InstallScript to set a regisrty in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AAA"
It can work fine on Windows Vista 32-bit.

But in Windows Vista 64-bit, the key will be set to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\AAA".

Is there any way I can do to set the key in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AAA" on Vista 64-bit via InstallScript project ??

Thanks,

hymei

I think you need to set REGDB_OPTIONS to REGDB_OPTION_WOW64_64KEY

Hi Stefan,

Thank you for the replay.

I can't find REGDB_OPTIONS on InstallShield DevStudio 9 "InstallScript" Projects. Is it a new function of new version?

I'm still trying how to set ket to 64-bit regisrty and copy compoment files to 64-bit program files folder.
But I am wondering if I can make it via DevStudio 9 "InstallScript" Projects.

Do you have any other suggestion?

Thanks a lot.

InstallScript 64-Bit Support was added in version 11.

hi Stefan.. I have been facing the same problem of redirection in 64 bit vista system. I have used the REGDB_OPTIONS in istall script. After using this option the redirection to 32 bit registry system is being suppressed but there is an error during uninstallation. it removes the folder and delete registry but the entry in control panel -> program and features remains. so untill i delete that entry manully no further installaion is allowed. any idea why its being occuring?

regards

I think there was a known problem like this, but I don't remember the solution. Please check the knowledge base, there might be a hotfix.
