As you may know, Windows is virtualizing some parts of the registry under 64 bit.
So if you try to open, for example, this key : “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90″, from a 32 bit C# application running on a 64 bit system, you will be redirected to : “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90″
Why ? Because Windows uses the Wow6432Node registry entry to present a separate view of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE for 32 bit applications that runs on a 64 bit systems.
If you want to explicitly open the 64 bit view of the registry, here is what you have to perform :
You are using VS 2010 and version 4.x of the .NET framework
It’s really simple, all you need to do is, instead of doing :
//Will redirect you to the 32 bit view
RegistryKey sqlsrvKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(
@"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90"
);
do the following :
RegistryKey localMachineX64View = RegistryKey.OpenBaseKey(RegistryHive.LocalMachine, RegistryView.Registry64);
RegistryKey sqlsrvKey = localMachineX64View.OpenSubKey(
@"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90"
);
Prior versions of the .NET framework
For the prior versions of the framework, we have to use P/Invoke and call the function RegOpenKeyExW with parameter KEY_WOW64_64KEY
enum
RegWow64Options
{
None = 0,
KEY_WOW64_64KEY = 0x0100,
KEY_WOW64_32KEY = 0x0200
}
enum
RegistryRights
{
ReadKey = 131097,
WriteKey = 131078
}
/// <summary>
/// Open a registry key using the Wow64 node instead of the default 32-bit node.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="parentKey">Parent key to the key to be opened.</param>
/// <param name="subKeyName">Name of the key to be opened</param>
/// <param name="writable">Whether or not this key is writable</param>

static
RegistryKey _openSubKey(RegistryKey parentKey,
string
subKeyName,
bool
writable, RegWow64Options options)
{
//Sanity check
if
(parentKey ==
null
|| _getRegistryKeyHandle(parentKey) == IntPtr.Zero)
{
return
null
;
}
//Set rights
int
rights = (
int
)RegistryRights.ReadKey;
if
(writable)
rights = (
int
)RegistryRights.WriteKey;
//Call the native function >.<
int
subKeyHandle, result = RegOpenKeyEx(_getRegistryKeyHandle(parentKey), subKeyName, 0, rights | (
int
)options,
out
subKeyHandle);
//If we errored, return null
if
(result != 0)
{
return
null
;
}
//Get the key represented by the pointer returned by RegOpenKeyEx
RegistryKey subKey = _pointerToRegistryKey((IntPtr)subKeyHandle, writable,
false
);
return
subKey;
}
/// <summary>

IntPtr _getRegistryKeyHandle(RegistryKey registryKey)
{
//Get the type of the RegistryKey
Type registryKeyType =
typeof
(RegistryKey);
//Get the FieldInfo of the 'hkey' member of RegistryKey
System.Reflection.FieldInfo fieldInfo =
registryKeyType.GetField(
"hkey"

//Get the unsafe handle

return

static
RegistryKey _pointerToRegistryKey(IntPtr hKey,
bool
writable,
bool
ownsHandle)
{
//Get the BindingFlags for private contructors
System.Reflection.BindingFlags privateConstructors = System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic;
//Get the Type for the SafeRegistryHandle
Type safeRegistryHandleType =
typeof
(Microsoft.Win32.SafeHandles.SafeHandleZeroOrMinusOneIsInvalid).Assembly.GetType(
"Microsoft.Win32.SafeHandles.SafeRegistryHandle"
);
//Get the array of types matching the args of the ctor we want
Type[] safeRegistryHandleCtorTypes =
new
Type[] {
typeof
(IntPtr),
typeof
(
bool
) };
//Get the constructorinfo for our object
System.Reflection.ConstructorInfo safeRegistryHandleCtorInfo = safeRegistryHandleType.GetConstructor(
privateConstructors,
null
, safeRegistryHandleCtorTypes,
null
);
//Invoke the constructor, getting us a SafeRegistryHandle
Object safeHandle = safeRegistryHandleCtorInfo.Invoke(
new
Object[] { hKey, ownsHandle });
//Get the type of a RegistryKey
Type registryKeyType =
typeof
(RegistryKey);
//Get the array of types matching the args of the ctor we want
Type[] registryKeyConstructorTypes =
new
Type[] { safeRegistryHandleType,
typeof
(
bool
) };
//Get the constructorinfo for our object
System.Reflection.ConstructorInfo registryKeyCtorInfo = registryKeyType.GetConstructor(
privateConstructors,
null
, registryKeyConstructorTypes,
null
);
//Invoke the constructor, getting us a RegistryKey
RegistryKey resultKey = (RegistryKey)registryKeyCtorInfo.Invoke(
new
Object[] { safeHandle, writable });
//return the resulting key
return
resultKey;
}
[DllImport(
"advapi32.dll"
, CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
public
static
extern
int
RegOpenKeyEx(IntPtr hKey,
string
subKey,
int
ulOptions,
int
samDesired,
out
int
phkResult);
Then we can open our registry key like this :
RegistryKey sqlsrvKey = _openSubKey(Registry.LocalMachine,
@"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90"
,
false
, RegWow64Options.KEY_WOW64_64KEY);
As you can see, the framework 4 make our life easier.
