RegistryView Enumeration
Specifies which registry view to target on a 64-bit operating system.
Namespace: Microsoft.Win32
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
On the 64-bit version of Windows, portions of the registry are stored separately for 32-bit and 64-bit applications. There is a 32-bit view for 32-bit applications and a 64-bit view for 64-bit applications.
You can specify a registry view when you use the OpenBaseKey and OpenRemoteBaseKey(RegistryHive, String, RegistryView) methods, and the FromHandle property on a RegistryKey object.
If you request a 64-bit view on a 32-bit operating system, the returned keys will be in the 32-bit view.
Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core Role not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core Role supported with SP1 or later; Itanium not supported)
