[WiX-users] RegistrySearch problem

[vorsichtdiekurve]

Hi,
I'm trying to determine what if a version of PostgreSQL is installed on a
windows 8.1 64 bit machine, using the following code:
*<util:RegistrySearch Root="HKLM" Id="PostgreSearch" Win64="yes"
Key="SOFTWARE\PostgreSQL\Installations\posgresql-x64-9.3" Value="Version"
Variable="PostgreVersion" />*
But when running the bootstrapper, i get this in the install log:
*Registry key not found. Key =
'SOFTWARE\PostgreSQL\Installations\posgresql-x64-9.3'*
Actually the key exists, it can be found using regedit.
Thank you in advance for any answer.
Mateusz

Unfortunately, it didn't.
My problem is that the registry key is not being found, not that the
registry search is not being executed.
Here is my bootsrapper code:
<Bundle Name="Setup" Version="1.0.0.0" Manufacturer="Company"
UpgradeCode="3731eedd-c21c-40e2-bf03-653ea4a186e2">
<BootstrapperApplicationRef
Id="WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense" />
<util:RegistrySearch Root="HKLM" Id="PostgreSearch" Win64="yes"
Result="exists" Key="SOFTWARE\PostgreSQL\Installations\posgresql-x64-9.3"
Value="Version" Variable="PostgreVersion" />
<Chain>
<ExePackage Id="PostSQL93" Name="PostgreSQL x64 9.3 setup" Cache="no"
Compressed="yes" PerMachine="yes" Permanent="yes" Vital="yes"
InstallCommand="/q"
SourceFile="postgresql-9.3.4-4-windows-x64.exe"
DetectCondition="PostgreVersion" />
<RollbackBoundary/>
<MsiPackage Id="ManServ" SourceFile="SetupProject1.msi" Vital="yes"
DisplayInternalUI="yes"/>
</Chain>
</Bundle>

when you win64=yes it might will check in wow6432node

just give path 'SOFTWARE\wow6432node\PostgreSQL'

[Bevan Weiss]

Is this a 64/32bit registry type issue?
And is the burn package being run with elevated privileges? (just to rule
out issues with registry permissions)

Well, it's a little bit embarrasing, but i've already found what was the
issue. There was a typo in the registry path.
Anyway, thank's for your effort.
