in thread Perl registry reflection – How?

I need to read key from the following registry path:

'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{B2AE58F9-BF87-4345-9A48-B4C855A484FD}

The problem is that on x64 machine it go to read by default from:

SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\....

And the key doesn't exist there! it exist under the first path above.

my question - On x64 machine, How can I cause the program to read values from:

SOFTWARE\Microsoft\....

And not from:

SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\....

If you can write me an example I'll appreciate it.

Thanks.

    But you didn't answer my question, does assigning a different key work, yes or no? Try turning on debugging (as shown in Scanning of 64 Bit registry ) and report error messages

      No I'll answer your question definitely: accessing the x64 part of the registry doesn't work from x86 program.

      There may be some workarounds but when you a not kind enough to even read background docs I provided I don't think somebody will invest time in looking for an answer.

    You keep asking the same question over and over again.

    Has it occurred to you that maybe no one knows how to do what you are asking for? Or perhaps it isn't possible?

    The start of some sanity?
