A computer implemented method of creating 64-bit registry keys using a 32-bit installer comprising:
- creating a feature tree comprising a plurality of 64-bit features;
- receiving a plurality of features selected for installation;
- creating 32-bit registry keys for the plurality of selected features;
- storing the 32-bit registry keys in a 32-bit hive of a memory;
- synchronizing the selected features in the feature tree to a 64-bit hive;
- and
- storing a feature list registry of the plurality of features selected for installation.
A computer implemented method for deleting 64-bit registry keys using a 32-bit installer comprising:
- receiving a plurality of features selected for deletion;
- receiving a feature tree for a plurality of 64-bit features;
- deleting the registry keys of the selected features based on the feature tree;
- and
- deleting the plurality of selected features from a feature list registry.
A computer implemented method for modifying 64-bit registry keys by a 32-bit installer comprising:
- receiving a feature tree for a plurality of 64-bit features;
- receiving at least one feature selected for installation and at least one feature selected for deletion;
- deleting the registry keys of the selected features based on the feature tree;
- creating a 32-bit registry key for the at least one feature selected for installation;
- storing the 32-bit registry key for the at least one feature selected for installation in a 32-bit hive of a memory;
- synchronizing the at least one features selected for installation in the feature tree to a 64-bit hive;
- and
- adding the at least one feature selected for installation to the feature list registry.
An apparatus for managing 64-bit registry keys using a 32-bit installer comprising a computer comprising:
- a 32-bit installer for creating registry keys;
- a 32-bit registry hive for storing a plurality of 32-bit registry keys created by the 32-bit installer;
- a feature tree comprising a plurality of 64-bit features;
- a registry synchronization module for synchronizing the plurality of 32-bit registry keys;
- and
- a 64-bit registry hive for storing 64-bit registry keys created by the registry synchronization module.
