Hi all,

where I work (local college) were starting to move to x64 in certain subject areas where more than 4GB RAM is required and also using Adobe CS6.

For now I've bodged things by hiving off certain registry merges to separate batch files called away from Kixtart altogether as I could not get Kixtart which is still 32bit to call the 64bit Regiedt to run various registry merges which previously worked on a 32bit OS (like tweak Windows Autologon)

Is there a Beta or even an Alpha x64 Kixtart around that I can use to or point me to a work around in Kix ?

Thanks

Steven

Have you tried turning on the 64 bit registry option?

 Code:
$rc = SetOption("WOW64AlternateRegView","On")

Straight from the manual...
 Quote:
WOW64AlternateRegView

ON
OFF

Enables access to the alternate view of the registry. See this MSDN article for details of this feature. The default is OFF. This option has no effect on 32-bit editions of Windows.

That appears to work, looks like I didn't have the $rc = part which made it fail.

Will have a play tomorrow to confirm it works as it should in the main kix script \:\)

Thanks \:\)

The $rc part has no role in the success or failure. It simply keeps the return code from being written to the console.
