In XP64 the majority of the registry was "Reflected" into the WOW6432Node
area of the registry so that a 32 bit app could read the majority of the
64bit area of the registry thru the WOW6432Node. In the current Vista64
Beta very little of the 64bit area of the registry is "Reflected" into the
WOW6432Node.

Since this is Beta software it would seem that it would be feature complete
and that no more of the registry will be reflected.

My question is how can I get a 32bit app to be able to read the 64bit area
of the registry that is not "Reflected"?
 
there is no way for a 32-bit app to read it directly, but you should be able
to install a 64-bit .net assembly, and call that from your 32-bit app.
