[PATCH] advapi32: MachineGUID to have same value in WoW64

After applying the following (which is what I think you meant):
--- a/dlls/advapi32/crypt.c
+++ b/dlls/advapi32/crypt.c
@@ -281,7 +281,7 @@ static void CRYPT_CreateMachineGuid(void)
         LONG r;
         HKEY key;

-       r = RegOpenKeyExW(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, cryptographyW, 0, 
KEY_ALL_ACCESS,
+       r = RegOpenKeyExW(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, cryptographyW, 0, 
KEY_ALL_ACCESS | KEY_WOW64_64KEY,

the 32bit branch no longer exists but I now get:
$ wine reg query 'HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Cryptography' /v MachineGuid
reg: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value

$ wine64 reg query 'HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Cryptography' /v MachineGuid
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Cryptography
     MachineGuid    REG_SZ e6ecce64-237e-4e28-8342-3f292975255f

So this is not desirable either (as it also means the 32-bit Launcher 
I've been testing with no longer works).
