Hello Frode,
Please keep in mind that when the related option is checked, then on a 64-bit machine the search will check the 64-bit registry section. For example if you add a
registry search in your project like this:
- Root: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: SOFTWARE\MY_KEY
Name: MY_REG_VALUE
Type: Retrieve the raw value
Search the 64-bit portion of the registry - disabled
then the related search on a 32-bit machine will check the following registry value:
Code: Select all
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MY_KEY\MY_REG_VALUE
and on a 64-bit machine will check the following registry value:
Code: Select all
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\MY_KEY\MY_REG_VALUE
If the "Search the 64-bit portion of the registry" option is enabled, then on a 64-bit machine the above search will check the following registry value:
Code: Select all
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MY_KEY\MY_REG_VALUE
Also, you can take a look on our
"Wow6432Node Registry Key" article.
If you have any questions let us know.
All the best,
Daniel
