Is there some way to create a custom (WoW64) shared registry key?
By default some registry keys are shared and others are redirected (see MSDN). But I want to create a custom registry key under HKLM\Software which should be shared. I’m looking for a solution in C# (maybe P/Invoke) and WIX.
If you add the
KEY_WOW64_32KEYflag toRegCreateKeyEx(orRegOpenKeyEx) you will always access the 32 bit registry.I couldn’t find this flag (nor
KEY_WOW64_64KEYwhich is the same but for 64bit access) in the Wix source code, so you might need to use pinvoke.
