Reply To: Get current localization of XMetaL Author from JScript

[Derek Read]

Note that on a 64-bit installation of Windows there will likely be an additional key, used by Microsoft's “Windows on Windows” layer (WOW64), like this:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeSoftQuadXMetaL Install_Language

…but Windows magically redirects the call from RegRead to the right Wow6432Node subkey, so the script should work regardless of processor architecture (which makes sense because this stuff is supposed to be automatically handled by Windows when running 32-bit applications).
