RegisterAppPath

Write Application Path to Registry

Definition

Registers the path to an application file in the registry.

If the application path is registered, Windows sets the system variable PATH on the registered path during application startup

Normally, an installation program adds user-specific paths to the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\<AppPath Key>.
<AppPath Key> must have the same name as the executable for the application.
The value (standard) contains the path, including application file name; the value Path only contains the path. Additional paths can be inputted under Path (separated by semicolons).

Options

Disable file redirection on x64 machines
For reasons of compatibilty, Ivanti DSM maps file and registry access to the default storage location for 32 bit applications (provided that the storage location differs from that of 64-bit applications). File access: whenever a 32-bit application attempts to access %windir%\System32, the access is redirected to %windir%\SysWOW64. Registry commands: when accessing HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE the calls are redirected to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node. The x64-switch stops this redirection of file and registry accesses when running the script command on a x64 computer; the eScript command runs on the specified path. CallScript command: the script runs in a 64-bit process.
