64 bit registry

[kpassaur]

I'm sort of confused as this line works and it is a 32 bit application

RegistryReadKey>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,SOFTWARE\eDocFile\Doc Viewer,AppFolder,ProgramFolder

These lines below have worked for years but no longer do- It will read the first line if set Let>REG_64=1

The question is what is needed to properly determine the version of Java on any machine? Also should I set REG_64=1 when reading the line above.

RegistryReadKey>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment,CurrentVersion,version
If>%version%>1.6
Let>javainstalled=yes
Goto>Havever
Else
RegistryReadKey>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment,CurrentVersion,version
If>%version%>1.6
Let>javainstalled=yes
Goto>Havever
Endif
Let>javainstalled=no
Endif

thanks

Yes, if you want to stop it redirecting to the 32 bit node, set REG_64 to 1.
