Reg Key doesn't execute...

Hi,

I'm running version 9.4 and I have a reg key that I've imported into the registry section of the MSI build, and it's simply going out to disable IE's Enhanced Security option.
However, when I run the MSI installer, it seems that other Reg keys I've imported, work as expected, however, this one key doesn't run.
I've taken the exported key.reg file and copied it to a test machine and when manually run, works as expected.

Is there something that I have to do/check-off when it accesses certain sections of the registry?

Thanks --
Daniel

Re: Reg Key doesn't execute...

Hello,

Please keep in mind that when you are importing a registry key, then its components will be added by default as 32-bit components in your project. Therefore, on a 64-bit machine the related registry key will be created under "Wow6432Node" registry key. So, if you need the related registry key to be installed in the 64-bit registry location on a 64-bit machine, then you should mark its components as 64-bit components.

Let us know if this helps, otherwise please give us more details about your scenario (maybe exemplify).

All the best,
Daniel
