[wpkg-users] Check registry key fails on Windows XP x64 machine

[Ulli Conrad]

Hi there,

just stumbled about a problem on a machine running Windows XP in a 
64bit version.

The check statement in a package is checking for a specific registry 
key (TCP/IP-Port for network printing) but fails although the key is 
existing.

Statement in the package is

<variable name="ipaddress" value="10.xxx.xxx.xxx" />
  <variable name="regkey" 
value="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monit
ors\Standard TCP/IP Port\Ports" />
  
  <check type="registry" condition="exists" 
path="%regkey%\IP_%ipaddress%" />

Checked manually and the key is indeed existing.

Any ideas why WPKG check returns "Failed checking after 
installation"?

No problems on XP and W7 machines with that....

Thank you in advance
