GetLatestWinSDK assumes registry key will point to 32bit node for win10 sdk
See original GitHub issueFirstly I’m not entirely sure if this is a Visual Studio installer issue or DNNE but after running the visual studio installer to add the win10 sdk to the system the KitsRoot10
registry key is pointing to C:\Program Files\Windows Kits\10\ where the sdk’s files appear to actually be in the 32bit node’s location of Program Files (x86). As far as I can tell it seems like the win10 sdk always winds up in Program Files (x86)
so I was curious if it made sense to instead have GetLatestWinSDK
check the WOW6432Node
for the sdk location to ensure it always pointed to the correct location?
