I do not use the Result attribute, but other than that I do use 
Win64=$(var.Win64) for two util:RegistrySearch elements.  One returns an 
Install Location, and one returns and integer.  Both work fine.

The installer/bootstrapper is re-compiled each time depending on whether it is 
x64 or x86.

Subject: [WiX-users] util:RegistrySearch “Registry key not found” when using 
variable inside Win64=“$(var.Win64)”

<util:RegistrySearch does not find registry keys when using a variable for 
yes/no for example: Win64="$(var.Win64)".

It works as expected if I use the string yes/no instead of the variable for
example: Win64="yes".

The var.Win64 is set to yes/no via a build script which prompts us for which OS 
to build for. The logs show it is being set to yes properly before DetectBegin.

Full question with code/logs:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22559113/utilregistrysearch-registry-key-not-found-when-using-variable-inside-win64

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
-dirt
