Yes because using Custom Actions to circumvent Windows Installer functions never caused anyone any problems. http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/UAC-issue- td4947851.html Palbinder Sandher Software Deployment & IT Administrator T: +44 (0) 141 945 8500 F: +44 (0) 141 945 8501 http://www.iesve.com **Design, Simulate + Innovate with the ** Integrated Environmental Solutions Limited.

Re: [WiX-users] Registry on 64bit XP vs Win7
Build an x64 package to write to x64 areas of the registry. You can't do it in an x86 package. Nothing to do with WiX, Windows Installer limitation.

Re: [WiX-users] Registry on 64bit XP vs Win7
It is the correct path, as long as your executable is running as 32bit on a 64bit system. Registry redirection is at play (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384232%28VS.85%29.aspx) On Fri, Apr 30, 2010 at 12:39 PM, Yu, Brian wrote: > Hi there > > > > I found by testing that in 64 bit XP, the registry path is somehow > different > > It should be hklm/SOFTWARE but now becomes hklm/SOFTWARE/wow6432 > > > > How do I get WIX to selectively install into the right paths depending > on whether it's XP or Win7 > > > > Brian > > > _ > This e-mail was sent to you by EASYSCREEN LIMITED (EASYSCREEN).

[WiX-users] Registry on 64bit XP vs Win7
Hi there I found by testing that in 64 bit XP, the registry path is somehow different It should be hklm/SOFTWARE but now becomes hklm/SOFTWARE/wow6432 How do I get WIX to selectively install into the right paths depending on whether it's XP or Win7 Brian _ This e-mail was sent to you by EASYSCREEN LIMITED (EASYSCREEN).
