    I run Perl exe which compile by Cava Packager x86.

    As i wrote, On 64 bit machine i can't read registry from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE (x64 registry path) - Only from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node

    Can someone give me an example how to implement it - read key from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall on x64 machine.

    Thanks

      Hi Monks,

      Can you please advice on my question above.

      Thanks

        Um, what?

        In your original code, it doesn't matter what $SERVER_PLATFORM is, you always use the same $Registry key, both for $SERVER_PLATFORM eq x86 and for when $SERVER_PLATFORM is ne x85

        If the keys are supposed to be different, assign a different key.

        What is the problem? Does assigning a different key work, yes or no?
