How to make .reg file to create entries in both nodes?

Hi,

I have an existing .reg file that works fine on 32-bit systems. Now we are trying it on 64-bit systems, and found it only creates entries on 64-bit node (i.e. HKLM/TestKey/TestEntry), we also want it to create entries on 32-bit node (because our application is 32-bit), i.e. we want HKLM/Wow6432Node/TestKey/TestEntry. What is the proper way to do it?

Should we change the .reg file to add the part for Wow6432Node, or there is some flag/variable we can use to avoid the duplicate of all our data entries, or it can be controlled by the execution (parameters/options) command?

The existing .reg file looks like:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TestKey\TestEntry]
"SampleEntry1"="Sample Data1"
"SampleEntry2"="Sample Data2"
.....

Thanks,
PB

Hello PB,

Just add the Wow6432Node to that Reg file should Take it to the 64-bit i.e.[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\TestKey\TestEntry]

So

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\TestKey\TestEntry]
"SampleEntry1"="Sample Data1"
"SampleEntry2"="Sample Data2"

And save it as Reg file should do the trick

Good Luck,
Captain
