Issue Discussion
Josh @ FM:
Josh reported a change of behavior in 8.2.02 on ‘wow’ redirection on 64 bit machines

Answer:
In Windows, there is a redirection concept. This redirection happens at three areas - System32-SysWOW64 folder,
ProgramFiles-Program Files(x86) folder and in registry WoW6432Node location. Based on the architecture of
application writing to these locations, it will decide the location to write. Pre 8.2.02, we had a 32 bit engine. It used to
write to 32 bit locations (programFiles(x86), SysWow64, WOW6432Node in registry). Now, we have 64 bit agent it
will write at 64 bit locations (program files , System32 and outside WOW6432Node in registry). His question is if this
is a right way and if their packages will place data properly in right location. From product side, this is the way we
have designed it and it should work that way.

We will hold a meeting to further explain the details.
