Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Windows Server 2008 and the registry You need both 32-bit and 64-bit registry components. However, 32-bit code normally can't access 64-bit registry areas, so the "correct" solution is a separate package for each bit-ness. -----Original Message----- From: phillip_sid...@dellteam.com [mailto:phillip_sid...@dellteam.com] Sent: Thursday, November 12, 2009 1:01 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Windows Server 2008 and the registry Ok, so it was writing to the Wow6432Node. So the next question: How can I force a 32bit installer to install registry keys to both the standard and Wow6432Nodes?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Windows Server 2008 and the registry Are you running on x86 or x64? 32 bit installer will be remapped on x64 OS, If x64, registry entries redirect to Wow6432Node, e.g. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Communicator instead of: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Communicator Wendell On Thu, Nov 12, 2009 at 9:33 AM, <phillip_sid...@dellteam.com> wrote: > I have an MSI that runs under an administrative account, it successfully > updates the registry on Win2K3 and XP, but when I execute the same MSI > on Windows Server 2008, it makes no changes to the registry.
