Registry Validation (WoW64)

This automated test verifies that video drivers create the correct registry entries.

During installation, video drivers must create registry entries. The test verifies that the registry entries exist and that they contain information of the correct type. The Graphics-0034 assertion lists the registry entries that this test verifies. Correct entries in the registry are important for the performance and stability of the Windows® graphics stack.

Additionally, string registry entries must contain at least one character and must not contain the word "Microsoft".

Finally, the file version that is set on the .dll file for the video driver must comply with the standards that the test assertions describe.
