You can find links to RegSpy2 at http://www.installsite.org/pages/en/msi/tips.htm (scroll down to the heading "Capture Self-Registration Information") Use it to generate .reg file which you can then pass to heat.exe to transform into a WiX fragment. You will probably want to clean up the WiX fragment as heat.exe literally translates every entry in the .reg file to RegistryKey/RegistryValue elements so you'll find a lot of duplicates or unnecessary code.
It would be lovely if heat.exe offered this functionality itself but I suspect there are more pressing issues at hand for the WiX dev team.
