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
<Condition>VersionNT64</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
