I need to create an old-fashioned DSN on the destination machine. That means I need to put the following keys in the ODBC section of the registry: HKLM - Software - Wow6432Node - ODBC - ODBC.INI - KeyForMyDSNNameGoesHere HKLM - Software - Wow6432Node - ODBC - ODBC.INI - ODBCDataSources - ValueOfMyDSNNameGoesHere HKLM - Software - Wow6432Node - ODBC - ODBC.INI - MyDSNName - KeyForMyDSNNameGoesHere - ValuesOfMyDSNDetailsGoHere Using InstallShield LE, I don't seem to be able to put entries very far down into the hierarchy. If I put a test key directly under SOFTWARE (32-Bit), as in HKLM - SOFTWARE (32 Bit), it works fine. But if I put a test key in a subnode, such as HKLM - SOFTWARE (32-Bit) - Software, or lower in the tree, it does not create the registry entry. There is no error when I build the Setup project, and no error during the running of setup.exe for installation. Is putting registry entries in subnodes of existing keys not supported? Or am I doing something wrong.

I need my installer to create an old-fashioned DSN on the destination machine due to working with some legacy software. The registry keys to define the DSN on the destination machine need to go in the ODBC area of the Wow6432Node so that the legacy software can see them. They are already set up on the source machine, and I want to drag and drop them into the destination machine area using the Registry viewer. But the Registry viewer does not show the Wow6432Node on the source machine. Is there any way to tell the Registry viewer to show me ALL the keys on my source machine?
