C# or VB Help Plz:)? 32 & 64 .reg file deployment for managed .ncfg

DavidZiff

Following: http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisexplorer/1700/en/appconfig_set.htm

I have created registry files (32 & 64 bit) for the deployment of ArcGIS Explorer in a controlled configuration environment. 

The issue is - i would like to build and application which queries the operating system at install and  determines which .reg file (32 or 64) is to be installed and then for the appropriate one to be used.

I realize this may sound easier in theory than in practice and Vista, XP and the like have their nuances but if its out there and someone has time to cut and paste - it will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance, dz

If you want to use VB script you can start with this.

'32 or 64 bit


Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002 
strComputer = "." 

Set oReg=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")

strKeyPath = "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment" 
strValueName = "PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE"
oReg.GetStringValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,strValueName,strValue
Call MsgBox("Current Processor Archiecture: " & strValue, vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "Installed OS")

Select Case strValue
Case "x86"
 strKeyPath = "SOFTWARE\ESRI\Explorer1700\Settings"
 strValueName = "Change for correct value"
 dwValue = change to what you want
 oReg.SetDWORDValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,strValueName,dwValue
Case "x64"
 strKeyPath = "SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ESRI\Explorer1700\Settings "
 strValueName = "Change for correct value"
 dwValue = change to what you want
 oReg.SetDWORDValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,strValueName,dwValue
End Select
