If the RegistrySearch/@Win64 attribute is not set to "yes" will always look in the "32-bit" registry, which means that the "Wow6432Node" part of the path is inserted for you automatically.

What I have tried (that did not work) was: <Property Id="PATH32" > <RegistrySearch Id="Path32" Root="HKLM" Key="<actual key covered by NDA>" Name="Path" Type="raw" /> </Property> <Property Id="PATH64" > <RegistrySearch Id="Path64" Root="HKLM" Key="<actual key covered by NDA>" Name="Path" Type="raw" /> </Property> <Property Id="ADDIN" > <DirectorySearch Id="AddinDir" Path="[PATH32]" > <FileSearch Id="AddInFileSearch" Name="<actual file name covered by NDA>" /> </DirectorySearch> <DirectorySearch Id="AddinDir" Path="[PATH64]" > <FileSearch Id="AddInFileSearch" Name="<actual file name covered by NDA>" /> </DirectorySearch> </Property> <Condition Message="<message not relevant to the problem>" ><![CDATA[Installed OR ADDIN]]></Condition> The reason for TWO directory/file search nodes is, the one installer package must support installing on both 32 and 64 bit machines, and the registry key differs on the two platforms. On a 32 bit machine it is HKLM/SOFTWARE/<value covered by NDA> and on a 64 bit machine it is HKLM/SOFTWARE/Wow6432Node/<value covered by NDA> (The two <value covered by NDA> are the same). According to the Wix Docs, the Directory/File search nodes that do NOT find the file should not pass a value to the parent, giving me just the one that DID find the file. Since my own test machine is a 64 bit machine, I commented out the 32 bit directory search, and it STILL is not working. Any suggestions on how I can make this work?
