That's not a good idea – replying upon certain system registry values is an invitation for application compatibility issues for future versions of the OS. Instead, just use the built-in ComputerName property:
ComputerName Property
The ComputerName property is the computer name of the current system. The installer sets this property by a system call to GetComputerName.

Perhaps you could do a RegistrySearch on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName\ActiveComputerName ?
Wix-users, please correct me if there is a built-in or better way to do this.

Is there an easy way to retrieve the hostname of the computer during an install without writing an custom action?
Thanks,
