The same time Code: SetOption("WOW64AlternateRegView","OFF") SetOption("WOW64AlternateRegView","ON") work as expected and dynamically write to HKLM\SW or HKLM\SW\Wow6432Node. That's an inconsistent behavior! thoughts? Thorsten

Maybe check the value for @ONWOW64 and use environment vars like %ProgramFiles%, %ProgramFiles(x86)% and %ProgramW6432% Code: Break On If @ONWOW64 = 1 ? "ProgramFiles = " %ProgramFiles% ? "ProgramW6432 = " %ProgramW6432% Else ? "ProgramFiles = " %ProgramFiles% ; whoops, next one is to find ; ; in 64-bit mode ; the ProgramFiles directory for ; 32 bit applications ; ; ? "ProgramFiles(x86) = " %ProgramFiles(x86)% EndIf Edited by Witto (2008-04-08 05:06 PM) Edit Reason: error in script

trood trood Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-10-05 Posts: 11 Loc: Germany, NRW	Hi Witto, no, I think that's a KiXtart 4.60 bug The option of leaving kix inside the WOW64 layer provides backward compatibility for all kind of existing scripts (unless you're real-world experienced with x64 environments, you won't notice that advantage and why it's important to have such). Creating "switches" inside existing code fragments is not the solution to work on WOW64. BTW: these options have been in 4.53, too - but they won't cause any effect... Since altering the option for registryredirection works as expected and those for filesystemredirection does not, this is very likely to be a bug in v4.60! how to adress this issue into a bug list for fixing?
