Hi guys,
Hi Ruud,

there's a bug in Kix 4.60 on 64-Bit Windows: while WOW64AlternateRegView works as expected, WOW64FileRedirection doesn't cause any different behavior and leads to inconsistencies in existing scripts.

Registry WOW-Mode

 Code:
$default = setoption("WOW64AlternateRegView", "OFF")
$r = writevalue("HKLM\Software\Test-OFF", "myValue", "test", "REG_SZ")


"OFF" shall be the default value
-> okay
expected result: key "HKLM\Software\Wow6232Node\Test-OFF\myValue"
effective result: key "HKLM\Software\Wow6232Node\Test-OFF\myValue"
-> okay

Registry native mode

 Code:
$r = setoption("WOW64AlternateRegView", "ON")
$r = writevalue("HKLM\Software\Test-ON", "myValue", "test", "REG_SZ")

expected result: key "HKLM\Software\Test-ON\myValue"
effective result: key "HKLM\Software\Test-ON\myValue"
-> okay

FileSystem WOW-mode

 Code:
$default = setoption("WOW64FileRedirection", "ON")
md "c:\program files\test-ON"


"ON" shall be the default value
-> mismatch, $default reported back as OFF
expected result: directory path "c:\program files (x86)\test-ON"
effective result: directory path "c:\program files\test-ON"
-> mismatch

FileSystem native mode

 Code:
$r = setoption("WOW64FileRedirection", "OFF")
md "c:\program files\test-OFF"


expected result: directory path "c:\program files\test-OFF"
effective result: directory path "c:\program files\test-OFF"
-> okay

Could anybody please confirm that WOW64FileRedirection has no effect at all? I also would like this to be accepted as a bug and an updated Kix shall be created, please.

Thanks
Thorsten
