yes and yes

both are 64-bit.  


I am trying to create HKLM\Software\Spiricon\Version5\ - Spiricon or
Version5 may not exist on the user's machine.  I need HKLM because the
keys contain information necessary for the program to run and applies to
all users.  The installer is required to have be an administrator
because we are also installing device drivers.


Perhaps it is virtualizing though the documentation says that this
should not happen with 64-bit processes.  I looked under HKCU and found
\Software\Spiricon\Version5\ had been created but the string values we
write were not there.

There might be some registry redirection or virtualisation occurring.
Have you set Execute="deferred" on CustomAction and scheduled it between
InstallInitialize and InstallFinalize ?
Are the installer and machine it is running on both 32-bit ?

Subject: [WiX-users] Windows 7 Custom Action Registry problem

I have a custom action that needs to create entries in the registry
under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.  The code is written in C# and uses
Registry.LocalMachine.CreateSubKey().  I added some logging that tells
me that the return value is not null and the custom action does not
throw an exception.  But the key is never created.  What is really weird
is that various functions are called that use OpenSubKey().  These
functions also log correct return values and do not throw exceptions.
But the key is never created.  

 

The custom action works fine in XP but fails in Windows 7.  I am running
the custom action with Impersonate="no".
