64 Bit Registry Uninstall Information Matthew Wieder 7/9/2007 12:28:11 PM I wrote an MSI package that used the path found at HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0\InstallLocation to determine where the .NET bin directory was installed. However, on 64 bit systems, that path no longer exists. Where is the new location which gives the uninstall information on a 64 bit system, so I can find the installation path?

Re: 64 Bit Registry Uninstall Information Theo <theo[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> 7/9/2007 1:02:08 PM Did you check in (drive letter):\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET? There are both 32-bit and 64-bit folders with additional folders for each version there.

Re: 64 Bit Registry Uninstall Information Theo <theo[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> 7/9/2007 1:04:18 PM P.S. It appears to be in the same location in XP 32-bit, also: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework Matthew Wieder wrote: [Quoted Text] > I wrote an MSI package that used the path found at > HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Microsoft .NET > Framework 2.0\InstallLocation to determine where the .NET bin directory was > installed.

Re: 64 Bit Registry Uninstall Information Matthew Wieder 7/9/2007 1:20:02 PM I need a registry key that points me to the install location on any machine; I don't need the actual file system path.

Re: 64 Bit Registry Uninstall Information Theo <theo[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> 7/9/2007 2:08:12 PM My Windows XP Pro x64 64-bit (WINDOWS\regedit.exe) registry entry is: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Microsoft.NET Framework 2.0 (x64)\InstallLocation And in the 32-bit (WINDOWS\SysWOW64registry\regedit.exe) registry it's: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Microsoft.NET Framework 3.0\InstallLocation Nothing about Framework 3.0 in the 64-bit registry and nothing about 2.0 in the 32-bit registry.
