Re: FW: readregistry issue

Resurrecting that old thread - I'm having the opposite problem. Since =

NAnt 0.92 now seems to be built with AnyCPU, it runs as 64 bit process =

on my machine. Unfortunately, I can't read certain keys that seem to =

exist only in the Wow6432Node - specifically, this one:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft =

SDKs\Silverlight\v5.0\ReferenceAssemblies

This means I can't build silverlight 5.0 in my environment.

I've modified NAnt.exe with corflags to run as 32bit, which fixes my =

immediate problem (I think). However, I'd like to know if there is a =

better way to do this.

Best regards
JM
