Detect Software on a 64-bit OS Using Both 32-bit and 64-bit Registry

You can specify the architecture value of a registry when creating custom traditional signatures in DSM Explorer for both registry and file entries. The specified value checks that a binary is built for the specified Windows architecture.

Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to DSM Explorer, Software, Definitions, software category, Release of software category, Properties, Recognition, Advanced, Registry.
2. Select one of the following values in the Architecture drop-down box for a 64-bit OS:

   32

   Triggers a search in the 32-bit registry hives.

   64

   Triggers a search in the 64-bit registry hives.

Note: If you change the OS group type to UNIX, the Architecture drop-down box is disabled.
