Preventing registry adding to WOW6432Node

I am creating a Quickpatch that update/add a couple of components. I also try to add a registry ket in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PowerShell\1\PowerShellSnapins...

However, when I run the update.exe, the registry key is always written to HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\PowerShell\1\PowerShellSnapins..
Is there any way to correct this. I already changed the Quickpatch's template to x64 and also try AMD64.

Thanks

Check the component attribute value for your registry key

For 64bit registry components, the attribute of the component should be 260.

(256 is the 64bit attribute + 4 for registry)

How do you do this in a quickpatch?

Hi

er, sorry forgot that the Quickpatch Ui is quite limiting!

you may have to build to msp instead to achieve this (de-select build Update.exe in your quickpatch project)

then reopen the created msp in InstallShield, which should let you edit the component attribute in Direct Editor.
