Adding entries to 32 or 64 bit registry...

I understand how to add entries to the registry in Advanced Installer.
My question are:
Do these entries go to 32-bit or 64-bit registry when the client PC is running 64-bit Windows?
How can I force an entry to go to either 32-bit or 64-bit registry?

Re: Adding entries to 32 or 64 bit registry...

Hi Edd and welcome to Advanced Installer forums,

Press F8 key while a registry value is selected in the Registry page. This will highlight its associated component in the Organization page where you can check 64-bit Component option. This will enable that registry value to be installed in the 64-bit portion of the registry on 64-bit machines instead of in Wow6432Node Registry Key.

How do I install different registry entries based on the Operating System (32/64-bit)? article can guide you further.

All the best,
Mihai
