Hi Brett,
This worked for me. I created a dummy registry key with the same name as yours.
Since the dummy key was not in wow64node, I put win64=yes.
I put a value in the key as "VERSION" and put the value as some directory,"
C:\backup"
<Property Id="REPORTINGSERVICESPROP" Secure="yes">
<RegistrySearch Id="SQLSEARCH" Root="HKLM"
Key="Software\MyTestKey\MSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVER" Name="VERSION" Type="raw"
Win64="yes" />
</Property>
This is from the logs:
AppSearch: Property: REPORTINGSERVICESPROP, Signature: SQLSEARCH
MSI (c) (D4:6C) [13:18:20:995]: Note: 1: 2262 2: Signature 3: -2147287038
MSI (c) (D4:6C) [13:18:20:995]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding REPORTINGSERVICESPROP
property. Its value is 'C:\backup'.

Thank you Phil and Pavan,
I have tried explicitly calling out 64-bit and specifying type="directory" but
it still fails to find it. The only difference I can tell between this use and
others in the installer are the . and _ in the key. I was wondering if that was
throwing the registrysearch off. It's frustrating when such a simple thing
causes a dead stop in work.

..and also don't forget there are 64-bit and 32-bit registries so you may need
to explicitly choose one.
