I may have not been clear in my earlier emails, sorry about that.
I have a C# custom action that uses Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey. I am
building this custom action with AnyCPU. The custom action searches for JRE
on the system and set a value to Session variable. I have 64-bit JRE
installed on the machine.
When the installer runs, it doesn't seem to search the 64-bit registry when
run on 64-bit Operating system, which is quite confusing. My understanding
is that the msiexec process that runs the custom action will be 64-bit in
this case and will launch the CA as 64-bit too.
I also confirmed with Corflags that the customAction was built correctly.
I don't think marking the custom action as 'Defer' matters here.
Custom Action definition
----------------------------
<Binary Id="provisionCA"
SourceFile="$(var.ProvCustomAction.TargetDir)Provision.CA.dll" />
<CustomAction Id='customActioncheckJavaHomeEnvVar'
BinaryKey='provisionCA' DllEntry='SearchJRE' Execute="immediate"
Return="check"/>
Snippet from custom action
-------------------------------
session.Log("Begin SearchJRE");
RegistryKey root = Registry.LocalMachine;
string path = @"Software\Javasoft\Java Runtime Environment";
using (RegistryKey jreRoot = root.OpenSubKey(path))
{
if (jreRoot == null)
{
session.Log("Java is not installed. JRE entry not found
in registry at " + path);
session["JAVA_HOME_PATH"] = "0";
return ActionResult.Success;
}
.....
..... AND MUCH MORE
Thanks!
