If you use Delphi

you know that MP is written in c#, right?

 

[ajs]

have you ever tried that

Yes, all the time, and it works up to 10 windows (Free Pascal, Delphi).

PS: AutoScript:

Local $sVar = RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE64\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update\Results\Install", "LastSuccessTime")
MsgBox(0,0, "last updated:" & $sVar)

I do not know the nuances of C #. Therefore, I could be wrong.

 

[Vasilich]

up to 10 windows

w10 doesn't have this registry entry - i assume because winUpdate function is somewhat ... weird in w10.

 

[ajs]

w10 doesn't have this registry entry

So it's a wrapper over function. Since it works. In MePoTools have a code to receive information about the version of windows. Tested at 10, everything is fine.
PS: I'm talking about the branch HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE64

i don't know what f5 company does - show me any entry of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE64 on MSDN.

moreover, what do you want to achieve with HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE64 for us? Is there any function in MP that doesn't work on x64 OSes?

 

[ajs]

show me any entry of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE64 on MSDN.

On MSDN - RegOpenKeyEx with atribute KEY_WOW64_64KEY - But it's clean WinAPI
Implementation of access to the registry branch in different languages of all the languages used wrappers over WinAPI, and therefore different designs. In fact, in the registry database, these branches can be. When a 64 bit program accesses the registry in a 64 bit system, she immediately give the desired branch. But if the 32 bit program wants access to a 64-bit branch, she, it is necessary to tell the system about it. And in each language for that its mechanisms.

yes, MP uses this KEY_WOW64_64KEY since ages (since x64 windows appeared on the market). That is why i don't understand what do you want to do with your HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE64 as everything works properly on MP side.

I do not know about it. When problem occurred, I suggested that maybe it will help. Moreover, the utility and the MP are different things.
