MariusN Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 This is not an issue, just a small question of interrest.. I have compiled a 32bit utility that started 100% in Win7 64bit, but did not want to impliment the instruction ( to change a certain registry-entry). I then took the .au3 and converted it to 64bit, and the instruction(s) ( to change certain settings in the registry ) worked 100% Any ideas why Win7 64bit would refuse a 32bit utility "instruction" regarding registry-change, even though the 32bit program DID open?

Andreik Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Maybe because there is a different registry path.When running on 64-bit Windows if you want to write a key or value specific to the 64-bit environment you have to suffix the HK... with 64 i.e. HKLM64. When the words fail... music speaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariusN Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) Maybe because there is a different registry path....weird....i didnt change ONE bit of code and it worked on 64-bit registry...lolPS: and i also didnt specify "64"...but it could be because i didnt shorten my hive..i wrote HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, instead of HKLM...
