Set registry key permissions in HKLM (Win 7 64bits)
Posted: Fri Jul 26, 2013 12:45 pm
Hi,
I'm trying to add permissions on a registry key in LocalMachine (HKLM) and it doesn't work.
I've enabled the 64 bits mode:
Set x64 - Native 64 bit Windows, AMD64 and EM64T Architectures - installation mode
I'm using InstallAware Studio 15. To create my testing project, I've used the Setup64 template on a 64 bit Win 7 machine.
On a native 64-bit project the result is the following:
The registry key is written but permissions aren't set. It works for HKCR and HKCU but not for HKLM.
I've attached the full code of my project (mia.txt) (take a look at lines 167 to 172).
Here's what I try to do:
The same code but in MSI format is the following:
Thanks a lot!

Code: Select all
Check Registry Key HKLM\SOFTWARE\MySoftwareA\ into CHKREGEXISTS
if Variable CHKREGEXISTS Equals NO$KEY
Write Registry Key HKLM\SOFTWARE\MySoftwareA\, (permanent)
Apply Install

Set Read Write Permissions on Registry Key "HKLM\SOFTWARE\MySoftwareA" for Everyone
