[WiX-users] Can not write registry vlue on 64bit system

2009-07-16 Thread Tuanqing Zhang (MDT InfoTech) 
Hi all,

I create an installer using wix 2.0.5805.0 and want to write a registry value, 
the code looks as follows:

  Component Id=CID_DetectionRegKey 
Guid={47BD4C22-286F-4B4B-96AF-87051F40EB9B} DiskId=1
Registry Id=RID_DetectionRegKey Root=HKLM 
Key=SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Automotive\Installer Name=Version 
Value=1... Action=write Type=string /
  /Component

It works fine on 32 bit XP and Vista system. But after installing on 64bit Xp 
system, I cannot find the key SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Automotive\HMI\Installer and 
the value Version  in the registry. Anyone knows how to solve this issue?

Best Regards,
Tuanqing

If the installer runs in 32-bit mode, the registry value is written in the
Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\... key. 32-bit applications will still find
it at the right place as Windows maps that.
