How to install 32-bit or 64-bit applications on 64-bit Windows
Enable TLS 1.1 and 1.2 on Windows 7 at the SChannel component level. Per the TLS-SSL Settings article, for TLS 1.1 and 1.2 to be enabled and negotiated on Windows 7, you MUST create the 'DisabledByDefault' entry in the appropriate subkey (Client) and set it to '0'. These subkeys will not be created in the registry since these protocols are. Mar 17, 2009 Hi - A check of 5 x86 Vista & Windows 7 x86 systems here DO NOT contain the virtualized HKLM Software WOW6432node. Its purpose under x64 is to re-direct x86 apps running under x64.

Back to ArticlesThis article describes how to use Actual Installer to install 32-bit or 64-bit programs on 64-bit Windows operating systems.
Actual Installer creates 32-bit installation packages that can install both 32-bit and 64-bit applications.
As you know, on 64-bit Windows there are two variants of system folders and registry keys:
Program Files directory:
'C:Program Files' is for 64-bit apps
'C:Program Files (x86)' is for 32-bit apps
System directory:
'C:WindowsSystem32' is for 64-bit files
'C:WindowsSysWOW64' is for 32-bit files
Registry Key:
'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARE' is for 64-bit apps
'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWOW6432Node' is for 32-bit apps
To access these paths in Actual Installer use variables<ProgramFiles> and <SystemDir>, which will contain the appropriate paths, depending on the bitness of Windows and the option Required OS - 64-bit only (on the General Requirements page).
So if your application is 64-bit, then all you have to do in the Actual Installer project is to select the 64-bit only option.
In this case variables return:
<ProgramFiles> - C:Program Files
<SystemDir> - C:WindowsSystem32
The registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftware will also direct to the correct 64-bit key.
If the 64-bit only option is NOT selected, then:
<ProgramFiles> = C:Program Files (x86)
<SystemDir> = C:WindowsSysWOW64
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARE will direct to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWOW6432Node
NOTE:
If you use full path 'C:WindowsSystem32' (no variables) for installing files in WindwsSystem folder on 64-bit Windows (and the option '64-bit only' is not selected ), it will automatically be redirected to 'C:WindowsSysWOW64', because of the Windows subsystem WoW64 (Windows 32-bit on Windows 64-bit). More information about this system is described here.
To access this 64-bit folder 'C:WindowsSystem32' from a 32-bit application, with the option '64-bit only' unselected, the following path should be used, instead of C:WindowsSystem32:
C:Windowssysnative
or (using variable):
<WindowsDir>sysnative
Also please note, that on 32-bit Windows access to this path will fail.
The same effect takes place when accessing the registry key 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARE'. WOW64 will redirect it to 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWOW6432Node'.
But Actual Installer can handle this - there is an option Registry Bitness when adding a registry entry (page System Registry).
To access a 64-bit folder 'C:Program Files' from a 32-bit installation, you can use a variable <ProgramFiles64>.
