Sorry, my bad. I didn't realize you were talking about the util:RegistrySearch. My answer was about the MSI based RegistrySearch. Using util:RegistrySearch is explicit. If you say Win64='yes' then the search is 64-bit and vice versa. You can ignore the fact that the Burn engine is 32-bit. It matters none.
