Just open your MSI package with Orca and you'll see the ConfigureIIs

I am following a registry search condition. This condition is to check if

Hello Prabhakaran,
Does the Vista run as x64? Then it's possible that MSI checks for the 32-bit
registry key (Wow6432Node) instead of the 64-bit. To do that set @Win64=yes
in the RegistrySearch element.
