MSI doesn't support it. Take a look at the MSI SDK doc for the RegLocator table, which is what RegistrySearch elements turn into: The installer adds a prefix to the registry value that identifies the type of registry value. For more information about types of registry values, see Registry Value Types. Basically, because MSI doesn't have the concept of value types in the Registry table, it "helpfully" uses prefixes to differentiate. WiX lets you specify types explicitly in your authoring, which it then prefixes to make MSI happy at install time. But it can't go the other way without custom actions. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
