… as of Mantis issue 6394
http://issuetracker.delphi-jedi.org/view.php?id=6394
The discussion here gives the impression that \Win32 is needed in the C++ XE2 and above registry key.

This suggested fix cannot work, there are multiple sub keys in the registry, of which two are of interest to the JCL (and JVCL for that matter): Win32 and Win64

So this cannot be placed in a constant.
I've had a look at the registry for the installs I have here, and the LibraryPath is already populated properly (ie, in both subkeys) for BDS11 and upper.
The SearchPath, however, seems to be missing the subkey.

A more thorough investigation needs to be done in order to write a proper fix.
