Need some help with ODBC and NSIS

Hi

I need some help with installation on x64 and x32. I hope someone can help.

I have a 32 bit ODBC driver that I need to install on Windows 32 and 64 bit operating systems.

On 64 bit, I request that the driver goes to $sysdir and it goes to \syswow64 - this is correct! It's where I want it to go, along with all the other 32 bit ODBC drivers.

My problem is with the Registry. I need to write the directly this file has been placed but when I put the value $sysdir into the registry, it says \system32 (which is incorrect of course).

What is the correct way for me to obtain the directory into which my files have been placed?

(I have seen a few questions posted like this but was not able to work it out).

TIA

Sorry to bump, but can someone give me any pointers?

Is the correct way to proceed to switch off redirection? If so, is there anything in NSIS that will act to help me locate the directories i need (like the location of syswow64?).

Are you a developer who uses NSIS to distribute your application? Are you a Winamp plug-in developer who wants to use NSIS to distribute your plug-in? Have suggestions for other people like you? This is the place.
