Enabling Registry Redirection for a Registry Key

C++

I am developing VC++ Project. It is a 32-bit application. In Prerequisites check, I am accessing some registry keys/values from this Project. My application is working fine on 32-bit machine. On 64-bit machine, prerequisities check is failing. I am trying to access a registry key under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Operations Manager as below:

regKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(@"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\Instance Names\RS", true);

On 64-bit machine, the code is checking under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\Instance Names\RS, where the key is not present.

I tried to Disable registry redirection but with no luck. The code for Disbaling Redirection is


Type type = typeof(RegistryKey);

FieldInfo fi = type.GetField("hkey", BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);

SafeHandle handle = (SafeHandle)fi.GetValue(regKey);

IntPtr realHandle = handle.DangerousGetHandle();

int errorCode = RegDisableReflectionKey(handle.DangerousGetHandle());
