The problem is the “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE \Wow6432Node” registry key represents a separate view of “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE” for 32-bit applications. This runs on all 64-bit version of Windows.
By calling “%WINDIR%\regedit.exe /s MyRegistry.reg” directly from the Kbox script would import registry value to “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node”, this is not what we are trying to achieve. Our goal is to import registry to “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE” which is a native registry location for 64-bit applications.
In order to reach our goal we will use Regedt32.exe a Windows registry configuration editor and SYSNATIVE Windows system re-director.
