Opening 64-bit Registry by a 32-bit program

[=?Utf-8?B?TWFyaw==?=]

I cannot Access HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE\SOFTWARE\Mi crosoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersi on (64-bit)
because of registry virutalization in x64...

How can I access this using Vb.NET?

My.Computer.Reg istry.SetValue( "HKEY_LOCAL_MAC HINE\SOFTWARE\M icrosoft\Window s
NT\CurrentVersi on", "RegisteredOwne r", TxtOwner.Text)

It will be redirected to Wow6432... Any ideas? Please post the code...

Thanks in Advance

I don't think you can (nor should need to) unless you use the 64 bit version
of .Net.

Build your application to target the the "x64" architecture.

My.Computer.Reg istry.SetValue( "HKEY_LOCAL_MAC HINE\SOFTWARE\M icrosoft\Window s
NT\CurrentVersi on", "RegisteredOwne r", TxtOwner.Text)

There is no way for a 32-bit application (and IL-compiled code is still
linked into a 32-bit process) there is no way around this.
