HI...
I wanted to control the "highdpiaware" compatibility settings in the registry for the local user and got it to work with the following code.
Write Registry Key HKCU\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers\$TARGETDIR$\obsman.exe, ~ HIGHDPIAWARE
~InstallAware Clipboard Data~
~Write Registry~
~{4C7FD145-0CC4-46C3-948D-D0414A75E839}~
~0~
~1|~
~Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers~
~C:\Program Files (x86)\pcwp\adv2022\obsman.exe~
~~ HIGHDPIAWARE~
~TRUE~
~FALSE~
Now I am trying to do the same for ALL users so I tried by writing to the HKLM registry using the following...
Write Registry Key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers\$TARGETDIR$\obsman.exe, ~ HIGHDPIAWARE
~InstallAware Clipboard Data~
~Write Registry~
~{7BA08583-2C7D-4997-A12B-6B8DB0578AC0}~
~0~
~2|~
~Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers~
~$TARGETDIR$\obsman.exe~
~~ HIGHDPIAWARE~
~TRUE~
~FALSE~
THE Problem is that it does not update the "correct" location but rather updates the settings in the registry under a WOW6432Node folder.
i.e.
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers
which is NOT the correct location and does NOT affect the highdpiaware setting for the executable referenced.
BTW... if I manually change the compat setting for all users .... it does show up in the NON WOW6432Node folder.
Does anyone have any ideas on why this would occur and how I can fix it to write to the correct NON WOW6432Node location??
Thanks,
George
