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.
