If you ever intend to re-write a registry value looked up with
RegistrySearch, it looks like writing it as a "string" (even if it's really
a DWORD) will work, because the property is stored in a string-writeable
format (i.e. DWORDs are written by RegistrySearch as #value, and Registry
nodes will write "string"s of formate #value as DWORD:value).

Hi...
Type='registry' is not supported (it was deprecated for a long time...)
You should replace it with Type='raw' probably.
Here is actual help for Type attribute:
This attribute's value should be one of the following:
directory
Sets a directory path from the registry value.
file
Sets a file path from the registry value.
raw
Sets the raw value from the registry value. Please note that this
value will contain a prefix as follows:
DWORD: Starts with '#' optionally followed by '+' or '-'.
REG_BINARY: Starts with '#x' and the installer converts and saves
each hexadecimal digit (nibble) as an ASCII character prefixed by '#x'.
REG_EXPAND_SZ: Starts with '#%'.
REG_MULTI_SZ: Starts with '[~]' and ends with '[~]'.
REG_SZ: No prefix, but if the first character of the registry value
is '#', the installer escapes the character by prefixing it with
another '#'.
