Wanted: Help translating C++ to Powershell to accommodate WOW6432Node and WOW6464Node

this program works:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384182%28v=vs.85%29.aspx 

however, need (specifically function createregistrykeyvalue) written in powershell.

the problem need specify

key_wow64_64key

and

key_wow64_32key

i spent day today trying translate c++ powershell , i'm getting error 1010 (as recall) invalid key. i'm having heck of time importing enums

regsam

could kind soul translate function createregistrykeyvalue powershell? if asking much, perhaps show me how import pinvoke these functions

   dwret =
        regopenkeyex(
            hkeyparent,
            keyname,
            0,
            rsaccessmask | rssamviewflag,
            &hkey);

    if (dwret != error_success)
    {
        printf("error opening key!\n");
        return false;
    }

    if (error_success !=
            regqueryvalueex(
                hkey,
                null,
                0,
                &dwtype,
                (pbyte)buffer,
                &dwsize)

i assume necessary import these unfriendly functions according explanations @ http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384129%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

. there easier way in powershell?

thanks,

siegfried

it sounds installer x86 executable explain why writes wow6432node regsitry key. i'm assuming keys need added x64 part of registry because whatever application/process going read them x64? i'm assuming installer calling powershell run script create registry keys?

so, won't convert c++ code but...you call c:\windows\sysnative\reg.exe create regsitry key call x64 version of reg.exe , therefore add key in right place.
