Additional notes:
  • The difference between running Automation Workshop 32-bit and 64-bit versions on 64-bit Windows is that some of Windows registry calls by 32-bit Automation Workshop are transparently redirected to locations under \Wow6432Node. The calls to the same registry locations by 64-bit Automation Workshop can access the specified registry location directly.
    For example, if a registry call is made to access HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software registry path, Automation Workshop 32-bit is redirected to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node location, while Automation Workshop 64-bit accesses HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software directly.
    Furthermore, if %ProgramFiles% and %commonprogramfiles% environmental variables are written into REG_SZ or REG_EXPAND_SZ registry key by 32-bit Automation Workshop, WOW64 (Windows 32-bit on Windows 64-bit) automatically replaces them with %ProgramFiles(x86)% and %commonprogramfiles(x86)%, respectively.
