Hi,

when creating a new version of a burn bootstrapper (using wix 3.9), I noticed 
that the
util:FileSearch did not work as I thought it would.

I tried to find a textfile in an application-specific c:\programdata sub-folder:

<util:FileSearch Id="ShowFrontendFile"
Path="[CommonAppDataFolder]TE-SYSTEMS\anynode frontend\showFrontend.xzconfig"
Result="exists"
Variable="ShowFrontend"/>

Unfortunately this did not work out:  The burn logfile always said:

File search: ShowFrontendFile, did not find path: 
C:\ProgramData\TE-SYSTEMS\anynode frontend\showFrontend.xzconfig

When I copied this path into the explorer, the file opened without problems.

When I exchange the text-file in this location by a file containing a pe-header 
(a dll file),  the FileSearch succeeded.

Should I be opening a ticket for this issue?

Best regards,
Tobias
