Hi Mike, REG_MULTI_SZ in AppSearch has lots of problems (here is one of them: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/897026). Consensus here is - use custom action of your choice to get that value.

Subject: [WiX-users] RegistrySearch question I am trying to read a Registry setting to get the installed instances of SQL Server. The InstalledInstances entry is a REG_MULTI_SZ data type. There is a value entered in this entry but the property INSTALLEDINSTANCES does not contain a value. I'm using version 3.0.4401. Any ideas? <Property Id="INSTALLEDINSTANCES"> <RegistrySearch Id="InstalledInstancesRegistry" Root="HKLM" Key='SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server' Name="InstalledInstances" Type="raw"/> </Property> Thanks!
