Note

• The difference between running Automation Workshop 32 and 64-bit versions on 64-bit Windows is that some of Windows Registry calls by 32-bit Automation Workshop are transparently redirected to locations under \Wow6432Node, for example:
  …if a Registry call is made to access Registry path:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software
  …Automation Workshop 32-bit is redirected to location:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node
