Hi Sharad, There was already discussion in Wix-users about Registry and 64-32 bit redirection. I think it is not supported (documented) scenario by Microsoft Installer, but you can specify Win64="Yes" as you wrote already, but also suppress validation of ICE. It should search in 64 bit branch of registry (without redirection).

We are currently using the v3.5 RC build. We have a 32bit installer that detects AppFabric using the following bit of WiX code: <Property Id="APPFABRIC"> <RegistrySearch Id="AppFabricRegistry" Type="raw" Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\AppFabric\v1.0" Name="ProductVersion" /> </Property> <Condition Message="Microsoft AppFabric was not found on this machine. Please install Microsoft AppFabric."> <![CDATA[APPFABRIC <> ""]]> </Condition> This works fine on 32bit systems but we get an error when the installer is run on x64 systems because AppFabric registry key only exists in the 64bit hive. If I try to use the Win64="yes" attribute on the RegistrySearch element then I get an "error LGHT1076: ICE80". All the searching I have does seems to suggest that 32bit packages can't access 64bit hive. Our application and the installer are both 32bit only. Of course without the RegistrySearch condition the installer works just fine on x64 systems but we would like to be able to detect AppFabric. So far writing an unmanaged (or managed) custom action seems like our only option. Is there a way to achieve this without a custom action?
