MSI, App-V, SCCM, Appsense, Citrix. This blog contains hints and tips on these technologies. Primarily it is an online notebook of items that I may need to refer to in the future, or things I constantly forget!

Wise Captures on 64 bit Windows
When capturing application installations on 64 bit Windows, check if wise is creating the correct key AND the one it saw being created under Wow6432Node. IMO the ones under Wow6432Node should be deleted. On a 64 bit system regkey writes will be correctly redirected to Wow6432Node at install time. On a 32 bit system they will be correctly installed. Leaving the Wow6432Node keys in the capture and MSI install may result in them being installed twice on a 64 bit system. On a 32 bit system unwanted Wow6432node keys would be created.
