Registry changes

Until now, Guild Wars client used the Registry data in the HKLM\SOFTWARE hive, on x64 OS it looks like:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ArenaNet\Guild Wars]
"Path"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Guild Wars\\Gw.exe"
"Src"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Guild Wars\\"

but now this information is placed in HKCU\SOFTWARE hive:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ArenaNet\Guild Wars]
"Path"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Guild Wars\\Gw.exe"
"Src"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Guild Wars\\Gw.exe"

It's hard to say whether it's an unexpected side effect of some changes, like an upgrade of development tools, or it's an intentional move. Anyway, the multi-clients runners should be warned :-) --66.102.9.32 15:24, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Cannot confirm that these strings exist on the new location for me. I can only confirm that this key, with a string containing the CD path, existed before the update. --numma_cway (talk) 21:17, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
