Registry key is not generated on x64

I have the following bat file that is run against windows 7 x86 and x64 to grab the bios information and add it to HKLM\Hardware\Bios\Settings. However it works great on x86 but does not ever put the registry key on for x64. All the logs seem nomal with the exception of a reference to the location of cctk. I've verified cctk is in the location defined in the bat file which is C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\CCTK\X86_64. I've tried modifing the script to HKLM64, also tried the Syswow change with no success.

I've tried a run as administrator for local system and domain\administrator with no success.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciate.

Answer to this is the kbox agent is 32bit. It was reporting the OS as x86 and not x64 which is why cctk was failing. Kace changed the script to look for Program Files (x86) and it works great.

As far as I know, Wow6432Node only exists for HKLM/Software.

I believe reg add has some problems dealing with 64-bit keys.

You can try launching it with reg.exe /reg:64 to get over to the 64-bit registry if that's where you need to be.

  • Found out the script is running fine. The part that fails is cctk. I cannot get it to run manually on x64. Not sure why at this point. - ckubaska 11 years ago
