A x86 msi package will automatically get redirected to use 32-bit registry
locations.

Subject: [WiX-users] How to: dynamically decide registry path to write to
based on OS architecture
Hi,
I need a way decide the registry path to write to based on the OS
architecture the installer is installing on.
E.g:
If OS is x64 bit
create a registry key under HKLM\SOFTWARE\WoW6432Node\MyCompany
otherwise write to
create a registry key under HKLM\SOFTWARE\MyCompany
To achieve this, I nest a component in the a Directory element (does not
allow the component outside of Directory element):
Component Id=C_UriInRegistry Guid=*
RegistryKey Id=RG_RegistryKey
Root=HKLM
Action=createAndRemoveOnUninstall
* Key= at this point, how can get a path based
on
OS arch: HKLM\SOFTWARE\MyCompany for x86 OR
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\MyCompany for x64 *
!-- URI--
RegistryValue Id=RG_UriSubKey
Name=MyURI
Value=http://www.example.com;
Action=append
KeyPath=yes
Type=string/
/RegistryKey
/Component
I considered using condition element like
ConditionVersionNT64/Condition but wouldn't that require me to
create 2 RegistryKey elements - one each for the case where VersionNT64
is
defined and undefined. I'd like to avoid to deal with two RegistryKey
entries
and have if/else clauses all over the place.
Appreciate any and all suggestions.
Thanks,
Sameer
