importing registry in 64-bit Windows
I am using a wise script to deploy an application. I use the following wise command
item: Execute Program
Pathname=C:\Windows\regedit.exe
Command Line=/s "%REG%\r18_x64.reg"
Flags=00000010
end
%REG% has the UNC path of the registry file
The contents of the reg file are
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Dassault Systemes]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Dassault Systemes\B18]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Dassault Systemes\B18\0]
"DEST_FOLDER"="C:\\Program Files\\Dassault Systemes\\B18"
"DEST_FOLDER_OSDS"="C:\\Program Files\\Dassault Systemes\\B18\\win_b64"
"OSNAME"="WIN64"
"IDENT"=""
The wise script imports the registry file to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Dassault Systemes
It should go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Dassault Systemes
I am using Wise Script 7.0 with SP3. Please let me know what I am missing.

The application I am packaging is a 64-bit application for 64-bit Windows XP. The registry key that needs to be imported is a custom key for our company. The application setup is NOT an msi.

If you're using Wise Script then WHY are you posting in this forum?
WiseScript is a 32-bit application/exe and will therefore write to the "virtual" registry.

Thanks. I thought so too, but wanted to double check. I will make a 64-bit msi for the reg. changes in WPS.

I had to deal w/ something similar.. try calling reg.exe from %WinDir%\Sysnative
