UninstallString in registry

Hi, I'm sure this was answered before, but your forums can't search right now...

I'm building a 32bit installer and at the beginning of the installation script I check the "Processor Architecture" and appropriately "Set 64 bit mode"

Question is, where should the UninstallString registry settings be written to?

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uninstall\\$TITLE$

or

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Wow6432Node\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uninstall\\$TITLE$

I need to read this within my application in order to invoke the Uninstaller.

Thanks,
Dawid

You can find out these answers very easily.

To search the forums, use the IDE's built-in search feature. It's on the Project tab, Help group. Just type in what you are looking for and that's it!

Just build and install an InstallAware setup on x64 and inspect the registry for the other answer!
