I have a 32-bit ActiveX application. I install it on a computer running XP
x64. The App Paths registry entries are placed under the
HLKM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths subtree.
When I try to launch the application via COM (CreateObject in VB), the App
Paths entries are not used. I have found that if I manually create the
entries under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths
subtree, they are accessed and used.
Sure seems like a Windows bug to me, but I can't seem to find any mention of
it in the Knowledge Base. What gives? Is there a fix?
