Hi all.
I'm trying to build a 32/64 bit wix project file, and part of this is the
need to read a key out of the registry.
I've seen documentation that says to use the "win64='yes/no'" flag, and wix
will allegedly use the appropriate registry key.
However, this doesn't work.
Here is what I have, which works when part of a hard-coded 64 bit install:
<RegistrySearch Id='SharepointRegistry'
Type='raw'
Win64='yes'
Root='HKLM'
Key='SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework\AssemblyFolders\SharePoint'
/>
It's the Wow6432Node that is the problem. I was under the impression that
when Win64 was 'yes' that it was supposed to automatically put the
Wow6432Node part in there, but it doesn't.
Then I later read that you have to use HKCR instead of HKLM. The only
problem is, this key is under the HKLM root, *not* under HKCR.
I tried with this:
<Property Id="INSTALLDIR">
<RegistrySearch Id='SharepointRegistry'
Type='raw'
Win64='yes'
Root='HKCR'
Key='SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\AssemblyFolders\SharePoint' />
</Property>
And the search failed.
So how is this search supposed to be done?
