Strange behaviour with Windows 64-Bit and registry keys

[congahonga]

Hi there,

I have got a STRANGE Problem !

I want to write this registry key with following command:

WriteRegStr HKLM "SOFTWARE\IKE\KFUE\Watchdog" "ConfigFile" "$INSTDIR\app\Watchdog\config\Watchdog.cfg"

But NSIS writes this key under,

"SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\IKE\KFUE\.....

Yes, I know already where the problem could be derived from.

I write an 64 Bit-Installer for a software, that is now available under Windows 2003 Server 64 BIT !

So, "SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\....." is a place where 32-Bit Keys are placed.

I am astonished, that NSIS writes this automatically to ...WOW6432Node....

I told NSIS to write the key like above !!!
And it adds automatically ...WOW6432Node so that the key finally is writen to

"SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\IKE\KFUE\Watchdog"

How can I prevent this !
