Isn't the ComponentSearch Guid value an arbitrary ID in this case? The
FileSearch sets the value of the SQLSERVER property based on the file version
of "sqlservr.exe". This isn't a file we're installing, it's the main SQL
runtime which is required to already exist on the box.
I tried searching on that guid on an x86 box were the test works and it wasn't
found in the registry. Does it have some meaning I'm not familiar with?

Have you verified that the component GUID is the same for the 64-bit component?

Subject: [WiX-devs] FileSearch on x64
The following FileSearch element works as expected on x86 machines but it
doesn't work on x64 machines, with 64bit SQL, even though the file version of
sqlservr.exe appears to be the same. Does FileSearch not support x64? Is
there a trick to make it work?
<Property Id="SQLSERVER">
<ComponentSearch Id="SQLSERVER"
Guid="42171F06-AFD9-4AD9-956E-9B68326429DE" Type="file">
<FileSearch Id="SQLSERVER" Name="sqlservr.exe"
MinVersion="9.0.2047.0" />
</ComponentSearch>
</Property>
Thanks,
Chris
