Seems OK then. Have you tried ICE validation ? Have you compared the UI and
Execute sequences in Orca/InstEd ?

I don't think it should be anything to do with user's profile: the Directory
search is looking for a sub-folder in the folder containing the MSI
([SOURCEDIR]) and the Registry search is looking in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.
InstallScope is perMachine
The problem does occur with MSI 5

Could it be because the things you're looking for only appear in the user's
profile  - hkey_users and c:\users ?
When you switch from UI sequence to execute sequence, the intallation engine
switches to the service side and the current user becomes local system and
user-specific searches wouldn't work.

If you're running a per-user installation, the searches should be redirected
but are you ? Whats the value of ALLUSERS ? Is Package/InstallScope set to
perUser ? Are you using MSI 5 or something earlier ?

Subject: [WiX-users] Directory and Registry Search failing in silent mode

I have properties set by a <DirectorySearch> and a <RegistrySearch> both of
which work as expected with UI but neither of which is set when run in silent
mode:

<Property Id="ABCFOLDER">
  <DirectorySearch Id="ABCSearch" Path="[SOURCEDIR]ABC" Depth="1" />
</Property>

<Property Id="DOTXYZ">
  <RegistrySearch Id="DotXYZSearch" Root="HKCR" Key=".xyz" Type="raw" />
</Property>

Log file with UI:

  Action start 11:29:54: AppSearch.
  AppSearch: Property: DOTXYZ, Signature: DotXYZSearch
  MSI (c) (D0:A4) [11:29:54:650]: Note: 1: 2262 2: Signature 3: -2147287038

  Action ended 11:29:54: AppSearch. Return value 1.

Log file in silent mode:

  Action ended 12:28:43: AppSearch. Return value 1.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
