Windows x64 registry creating my key on Wow6432node and not working properly...

Question

My program is trying to create an key on the

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSCONFIG\startupreg\test\

but instead the key is created on the

HKLM\Wow6432node\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSCONFIG\startupreg\test\

and don't work properly... Why? How can I solve it?

Answer 1

Turn off registry redirection.

Answer 2

Registry redirection is on, because you are running a 32-bit program. If you switch to 64-bit, you will not have this redirection.
