Hi Nick, I am not sure of this, but maybe u can build a merge module which has a 32 bit component to make whatever registry entries u wish to have. Then u can give a reference to this 32 bit merge module in your 64 bit installer code.(using Merge and MergeRef elements). This way ur 64 bit installer code will make registry entries normally (not under WOW) and the merge module will make the registry entries in the WOW node. But as i said am not sure of this approach. Let me know if it works out for you.
