You could simply duplicate the RegistrySearch into a second Property & set the Win64 attribute accordingly on each? E.g.
<Property Id="APPFABRIC"> <RegistrySearch Id="AppFabricRegistry" Type="raw" Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\AppFabric\v1.0" Name="ProductVersion" Win64="no" /> </Property> <Property Id="APPFABRICX64"> <RegistrySearch Id="AppFabricRegistry" Type="raw" Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\AppFabric\v1.0" Name="ProductVersion" Win64="yes" /> </Property> <Condition Message="Microsoft AppFabric was not found on this machine. Please install Microsoft AppFabric."><![CDATA[(APPFABRIC <> "" OR APPFABRICX64 <> "") OR Installed]]></Condition> The 2nd RegistrySearch will give you an ICE80 *warning* for using a 64-bit RegistrySearch in a 32-bit package which you can suppress (or just ignore if you don't have treat warning as errors on) but it should work on both x86 & x64 systems with the above code.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Can RegistrySearch read 64bit hive from 32bitpackage? Hi, No doesn't work. The only way is to create a Custom Action which runs as 64bit CA and does the job for you. But this is not recommended as heree packages for x86 and x64 would be the best approach. It's just something to get the job done.
