You can access the x64 registry from within a x86 process. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724878%28v=vs.85%29.aspx. The RegistrySearch element supports switching between x86 and x64 registry by using Win64 attribute. Michael Am 29.06.2011 09:55, schrieb Kryschan: > Kryschan wro

AFAIK the msi engine does use a special host. So a vbs which runs with wscript may be invalid with the msi scripting host. I once created a vbs custom action. If I remeber correctly the msi host does not support msgbox function. Michael Am 17.06.2011 00:06, schrieb Roy Clemmons: > I hope this
