Writing into the Regestry

Hi,

i'm new to this installer, so i tried alot of examples and read the tutorials.
But now I have a problem writing into the regestry under windows 7.
I can write the installer dir to "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\myapp.exe"

But when i want to set the install dir in
"Software\MyName\MyApp" it did not work.

I've created the installer script with the hm-edit editor.
I only changed the line where the PRODUCT_DIR_REGKEY is defined.

Can someone help me what i'm doing wrong.

It will have wrote to Software\Wow6432Node under Windows x64. If you want to avoid this, use SetRegView 64.
