Neil, Documentation on AppSearch table does not say that Property column has to be unique, so I don't think it is illegal to have multiple rows for the same property in the AppSearch table. The order of evaluation for the same property should go from least desirable to most desirable. The only concern I have here is that it will work as long as no custom action or any other database manipulation procedure will change the order of records in the AppSearch table. Since it is possible to reorder records - I'd say that this feature is available, but not 100% reliable. Interesting thing is that WiX documentation on Property element (both v2 and v3) is saying:
Children Sequence (min: 1, max: 1) Not sure how to interpret that, but the way I read this is that this element supports just one child which is a sequence of elements in it (ComplianceDrive, ComponentSearch, etc).

Subject: [WiX-users] Multiple RegistrySearch elements This works but is it supported? <Property Id="USERNAME"> <RegistrySearch Id="RegUserName1" Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" Name="RegisteredOwner" Type="raw" /> <RegistrySearch Id="RegUserName2" Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\MyCompany\License" Name="RegisteredName" Type="raw" /> </Property> What this does is set the property USERNAME to either the default value from the CurrentVersion key or from my local application setting. As I said in the initial question, it works but is it reliable, am I just lucky?
