Re^2: Failed to check if registry key is exist

I Failed even if i use the following code:

use Win32::Registry;
my $Register = 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{0
+34106B5-54B7-467F-B477-5B7DBB492624}';
my $hkey;
$HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->Open($Register,$hkey)|| die print "($!) ($?) ($^E
+)\n";

$hkey->Close();
[download]

If i remove the last entrance key {034106B5-54B7-467F-B477-5B7DBB492624} and run it like the following is working good:

use Win32::Registry;
my $Register = 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall';
my $hkey;
$HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->Open($Register,$hkey)|| die print "($!) ($?) ($^E
+)\n";

$hkey->Close();
[download]

My question is why? Why {034106B5-54B7-467F-B477-5B7DBB492624} caused to read problem?

I just need to check if some product is installed

Answer found on stack overflow. Wow64 is the issue - use the system native version of reg.exe %Windir%/sysnative/reg.exe	[reply]
