aiuse Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) Hi, I am trying to add a registry key with using RegWrite but it is not doing it. I also added the #RequireAdmin at the top of the script. Only if I run the reg file manually, the key is added. Here is the key. RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersion","test","REG_SZ","C:Windowstest.bmp") Please advise. Thanks Edited July 18, 2013 by aiuse
Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted July 18, 2013 Moderators Posted July 18, 2013 Hi, aiuse. Is it being created in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersion?

aiuse Posted July 18, 2013 Author Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) Hi JLogan, you are right. I just checked and found that was created under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersion. Do you know why it is not created under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersion? It is Win7 x64 machine but i don't think it is matter because the manual process did it. I really need it to be added to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersion. Please advise. Thanks Edited July 18, 2013 by aiuse
JohnOne Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) I believe it has something to do with registry redirection, where the os decides where a key is meant for. You have two options, websearch "disable redirection" to explicitly turn it off and back on after write, or it could be as simple as #Autoitwrapper usex64 = n (or something like that) EDIT: #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=n Edited July 18, 2013 by JohnOne 0xdefea7 1 AutoIt Absolute Beginners Require a serial Pause Script Video Tutorials by Morthawt ipify Monkey's are, like, natures humans.
Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted July 18, 2013 Moderators Posted July 18, 2013 Actually in this case, I believe it would be #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=y if he would like it not to go into the x86 area.

aiuse Posted July 18, 2013 Author Posted July 18, 2013 Thank you SO much John. I thank to JLogan too. I got it working now by using HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE64.
Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted July 19, 2013 Moderators Posted July 19, 2013 Glad you got it working. Odd that it worked for me without the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE64. Wonder what the difference was.

aiuse Posted October 8, 2013 Author Posted October 8, 2013 I truly just have to change it to MACHINE64. We have Windows 7 64bit machines. I did not have any clue to fix this until you all helped me.
