Hi.
I have a question about 64 bit. All I need is to create/add key values to
registry on install and delete them on uninstall in 64 bit environment 2003
and 2008.
This is the code, which I use under 32 bit to create a registry key and
write some values(I use flag “NOT VersionNT64”):
<Component Id="RegistryChangesComponent32Bit" Guid="
CE33CE9B-5838-4f28-A623-FEF8E4254849">
<Condition>NOT VersionNT64</Condition>
<Registry Id='CreateExclusionListKey32' Root='HKLM' Key='
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PCHealth\ErrorReporting\ExclusionList'
Action='createKey'/>
<Registry Id='AdministrationServiceKey32' Root='HKLM' Key='
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PCHealth\ErrorReporting\ExclusionList'
Name='AdministrationService.exe' Action='write'
Type='integer' Value='00000001'/>
<Registry Id='RemoveExclusionListKey32' Root='HKLM' Key='
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PCHealth\ErrorReporting\ExclusionList'
Action='removeKeyOnUninstall'/>
</Component>
This is the code, which I use under 64 bit to create a registry key and
write some values(I use flag “VersionNT64”):
<Component Id="RegistryChangesComponent64Bit" Guid="
79368FDB-9A6A-430b-B8ED-97FDE93E89C6">
<Condition>VersionNT64</Condition>
<Registry Id='CreateExclusionListKey64' Root='HKLM' Key='
SOFTWARE\wow6432Node\Microsoft\PCHealth\ErrorReporting\ExclusionList'
Action='createKey'/>
<Registry Id='AdministrationServiceKey64' Root='HKLM' Key='
SOFTWARE\wow6432Node\Microsoft\PCHealth\ErrorReporting\ExclusionList' Name=
'AdministrationService.exe' Action='write' Type='integer' Value='00000001'
/>
<Registry Id='RemoveExclusionListKey64' Root='HKLM' Key='
SOFTWARE\wow6432Node\Microsoft\PCHealth\ErrorReporting\ExclusionList'
Action='removeKeyOnUninstall'/>
</Component>
But when I try to install in 2003 64 bit it gives the following error
message:
(Embedded image moved to file: pic24976.jpg)
I goggled and found that some people had similar problem and they advised
to use Root='HKCR'under 64 bit.
So I changed my code to use HKCR root for 64 bit:
<Component Id="RegistryChangesComponent64Bit" Guid="
79368FDB-9A6A-430b-B8ED-97FDE93E89C6">
<Condition>VersionNT64</Condition>
<Registry Id='CreateExclusionListKey64' Root='HKCR' Key='
SOFTWARE\wow6432Node\Microsoft\PCHealth\ErrorReporting\ExclusionList'
Action='createKey'/>
<Registry Id='AdministrationServiceKey64' Root='HKCR' Key='
SOFTWARE\wow6432Node\Microsoft\PCHealth\ErrorReporting\ExclusionList' Name=
'AdministrationService.exe' Action='write' Type='integer' Value='00000001'
/>
<Registry Id='RemoveExclusionListKey64' Root='HKCR' Key='
SOFTWARE\wow6432Node\Microsoft\PCHealth\ErrorReporting\ExclusionList'
Action='removeKeyOnUninstall'/>
</Component>
In that case installation and uninstallation does not produse any warning
dialogs and looks ok. Installation creates the following keys
1)
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Microsoft\PCHealth\ErrorReporting\ExclusionList
2)
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\PCHealth\ErrorReporting\ExclusionList
3)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Software\Microsoft\PCHealth\ErrorrReporting\ExclusionList
4)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Software\wow6432Node\Microsoft\PCHealth\ErrorReporting\ExclusionList
The problem is that uninstallation never deletes these registry keys under
64 bit(all 4 paths from 4 points above have all key values even after
uninstall).
Could you help me with this ?
Thanks in advance for your answers!
