Notes
- Note that in older Windows versions the Registry keys with included Registry values are copied without their security attributes and permissions. On Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008, the Registry keys and values are copied with their security attributes; since Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 Registry values are copied without their security attributes.
- The difference between running Automation Workshop 32 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, for example:
…if a Registry call is made to access Registry path:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software
…Automation Workshop 32-bit is redirected to location:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node
