[TC 8.01 Win32] Global *.INI files location is not respected

Post by *ibauer »

Hello,

32-bit version of TC 8.01 does not respect the global *.INI file location selected during the installation (tcm801x32_64.exe). When prompted for a location, I selected "program directory", but when I launch 32-bit version of TC 8.01, the About box shows that the INI files from the user-local application data directory are used instead. Strange thing is that the 64-bit version works just fine (INI location is respected).

I did some research and found the problem: TC installer does not create a proper registry sub-tree (Ghisler) under HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node branch. After replicating all the missing entries, 32-bit version works as expected.

EDIT: I have just tried the installer for the 32-bit version only (tcm801x32.exe) and it works great, so the problem must be specific to a combined installer for Win32/Win64 version.

Best regards
Ivo

Strange, I wasn't aware that this key would be split between 32-bit and 64-bit. I will try to reproduce it.
