Hi David,
Thank you for the information. Below is my component definition:
<Component Id="ClientOnlyInstallRegistryData"
Guid="{AC00CCB7-73F2-4520-984F-4BEAF3B2A063}" KeyPath="yes"
SharedDllRefCount="no" >
<RegistryKey Id="Registry1" Key="RTServerRM_6.0" Root="HKCR"
Action="createAndRemoveOnUninstall" />
<RegistryKey Id="Registry2" Key="Software\Classes\RTServerRM_6.0" Root="HKLM"
Action="createAndRemoveOnUninstall" />
</Component>
As you can see Registry1 is targeted for HKCR and Registry2 for HKLM. As a
result of the installation, "RTServerRM_6.0" is created right under HKCR and
the same key is also created right under HKLM\Software\Classes, not under
HKLM\Software\Classes\Wow6432Node as desired.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Miaohsi

32 bit (x86) installers can indeed write to wow6432nodes and do so by by
default.
Specify the key you wish to write to and omit Wow6432Node as they will be
redirected there automatically.
http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/write_a_registry_entry.htm
Its also worth noting that Microsoft say it is bad form to actually write to
HKCR directly (its behaviour depends on the environment) so for per machine
installs you should install to HKLM\Software\Classes and
HKCU\Software\Classes for per user installs.

Subject: [WiX-users] Can an x86 msi create a registry key under

Dear All,
I have an x86 installer which needs to create a registry key under
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node on 64-bit machines. I created a component to do
the task. The component installs fine but does not create the key on x64
systems. Is there a way to accomplish this with WiX? Your help will be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
Miaohsi
