The installer gives the error “Internal error: Failed to get path of 64-bit Program Files directory.” on 64-bit Windows, how can that be solved?

Hi! When I did a full system reset to clear out years of accumulated junk, everything seemed fine until Windows suddenly announced it couldn’t verify my license. I remembered posts on various forums mentioning kmspico and assumed that perhaps this was what had helped my system activate correctly earlier. I downloaded and installed it, and couldn’t believe it everything worked perfectly.

This answer is for experts only. Click on Start, then click on Run and type regedit and press enter. Then navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Then make sure the registry value ProgramFilesDir points to the 64-bit Program Files path, which is usually C:\Program Files\. Also make sure the registry value CommonFilesDir points to the 64-bit Common Program Files path, which is usually C:\Program Files\Common Files\.
