Script for X64bit Machine
I’m looking for a script or a way to write following registry on X64 bit machine, but it’s going to 32bit application’s path L
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{xyz-abc-def-ghij-klmnopqrst}.sdb]
"SystemComponent"=dword:00000001
Basically i want to hide shim from Add/remove on X64bit machine
Thanks in advance for the all your help!

It depends how you are running the script. If you are running the script as a 32 bit process then it will automatically write in 32 bit hive.
Just use the command line tool REG.
Or are you trying to do this in a MSI?
When you say 32bit path do you mean the WOW6432Node? As that is the 32bit node for 32bit apps.

Yes you are right it goes to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall. can you provide the command line options which can be executed through msi or wse ? - skj 11 years ago

But you need to write this in the..
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
instead?
If so, just use a Custom Action to execute a command, use the REG tool to write to the key or value. Dont forget to condition the action.
Is this a 64 or 32bit app? Its really strange you need to do this, as it really should be in the WOW6432Node. - rileyz 11 years ago
try
HKLM64\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{xyz-abc-def-ghij-klmnopqrst}.sdb]
"SystemComponent"=dword:00000001

You might have to edit it . Currently it reads 64 bit hive.
