We have an legacy application that accesses the registry. Because it is a 32bit application it accesses the registry in Windows 7 through Registry Virtualization when referencing HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software. My question is what setting(s) in Visual Studio do we need to modify to compile our applications where they access the registry “normally” without going through Registry Virtualization?
The solution was to compile the legacy application to target x64. An application that is explicitly targeting x64 will not be subject to registry virtualization.
