Assuming this is the right file, the cause of the behavior Mark
reported is pretty clear. While the template summary is indeed x64,
the attributes on the registry components are all 4 instead of 256 |
4, so they are placed in the 32-bit reflected registry. I don't know
if this is desirable for some other reason.
