NSIS 64bit installer
Hi All! So, the bug is that NSIS generates installers that work only at 32bit Windows systems (can anyone confirm?), so I developed a patch for latest version of mkgmap which includes changes to default nsi script and NsisBuilder.java. Can anyone look through? The main difference is that Registry path should be changed if that is x64.

No Problems with normal mkgmap-nsis-installer with Win 7 64bit. Henning
May it be some security issue that my nsis installer does not have rights to write to HKLM/SOFTWARE folder. Can you check if you have that registry key: HKLM/SOFTWARE/Garmin, HKLM/SOFTWARE/Wow6432Node/Garmin?
Hi I've just the Wow6432Node key in my registry. In the nsi-file generated by mkgmap there is only the 32bit-reg-key, so I think Windows changes it automatic. Also I never heard about problems while installing my maps with a 64bit Windows. Henning
Touching an old thread. I recently received a report on this issue from a user: https://github.com/maning/osmphgps/issues/50 "OSM Executable file wont run error: The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher."
