问题
I have been using Visual Studio 2012 on Winodws Server 2008 R2 sp1, Although apart from a bit slow performance it seem to work fine. But whenever I close the application, I get following error-
Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 has stopped working
And prompts to restart or debug the program.
I read here that deleting following registry key, would fix the issue on 64 Bit machine.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers]
The issue is, I have not be able to locate the registry key beyond this path, on my machine.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft
Have you come across this situation earlier, what is the workaround for this.
Thank you for your help !

I noticed that other community members have the same error message as yours, and they are resolved the issue by deleting the following key in the Registry:
32-bit machine:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers]
"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\\Common7\\IDE\\devenv.exe"=""
64-bit machine:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers]

If I'm not mistaken, the correct path goes like this:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers]
