I have been trying to implement some scripts, previously used on a 32bit platform, on Windows XP pro x64. i have been running into some issues. The registry keys are not updated by the script for example. Can somebody tell me if the current version is supported for Win XP x64 or not and if it will be in the future.

Thanks

don't have any amd64 systems to test with xp 64.
the only 64bit systems I have are production servers.

so, is the registry write the only issue you can see?
can you write a simple example script that fails?

Could you post some sample code that does not work, so those with access to a xp64 system can test it please.

Here is an example:

;************************************************************
; SYSPREP START ROUTINE - SPStart2
;************************************************************

$x=Setconsole("SHOW")
$x=Setconsole("FOREGROUND")

sleep 5

$x=sendkeys("{ESC}")


? "Update the default login name to Administrator..."
?
$x=WriteValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","DefaultUserName","Administrator", "REG_SZ")
sleep 3

? "Creating autologon for Administrator account..."
?
$x=WriteValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","AutoAdminLogon","1", "REG_SZ")
$x=WriteValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","AutoLogonCount","3", "REG_DWORD")
$x=WriteValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","DefaultPassword","password", "REG_SZ")
sleep 3

;**************************************************
; Setup SPStart3.lnk on startup group
;**************************************************

CD $workingdir
SHELL 'cmd /c copy /y SPStart3.lnk "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"'

? "shutting down"
?
$x=shutdown("","Updates Completed! restarting PC...", 5, 1, 1)

exit

What gets displayed if you stick in a tracer:

$x=WriteValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","AutoAdminLogon","1", "REG_SZ")

? "ERROR " + @ERROR + " : " + @SERROR

The most likely issue is the registry redirection that windows XP x64 is performing. See Registry changes in x64-based versions of Windows Server 2003 and in Windows XP Professional x64 Edition

That was it. I confirmed that the registry values were written into the 32bit node of the registry.
