If the installer runs in 32-bit mode, the registry value is written in the Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\... key. 32-bit applications will still find it at the right place as Windows maps that.

But after installing on 64bit Xp system, I cannot find the key "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Automotive\HMI\Installer" and the value "Version" in the registry. Anyone knows how to solve this issue?
