Hi,
I read several posts about this but could not reply to them so started a new thread...
I have SB7 writing to the HKLM tree on Windows 7... it gets directed to the WOW6432Node. I am writing an InstallDate key in there.
When my app runs for the first time, I am trying to read that key but nothing is being returned. Does Windows 7 automatically redirect the HKLM to the Wow6432Node? I thought I read that it did indeed do that.
However I cannot read the InstallDate key from HKLM and thus my code on start up is failing.
ANy suggestions or suggested reading? I have searched HKLM on forum and read a lot of the posts.
Related question... in newer version of SB the embed manifest has a new selection for Windows 7 compatibility. I added that and recompiled... did not realize it was there though... My question is should I do that for all of my installers? i.e. even if installing XP or VIsta this won't negatively affect it....
Thanks
-Tim
