Thanks Alex. I'll put together a CA to do what I need.

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!
