I'm seeing the same behaviour.
In my component I have the following lines:
<RegistryValue Root="HKLM" Key="Software\MyCompany\MyProduct" Name="Port"
Value="[PORTVALUE]" Type="integer" />
<Property Id="PORTVALUE" Value="1234">
<RegistrySearch Id="RegPortValue" Root="HKLM"
Key="Software\MyCompany\MyProduct" Name="Port" Type="raw"></RegistrySearch>
</Property>
In the resulting package, the relevant line in the Property table is:
Property = PORTVALUE, Value="1234"
In the Registry table, Value = #[PORTVALUE].
When I run this on a fresh install, it correctly writes a DWORD with value
1234.
When in maintenance/upgrade, it writes a string with value #1234.
As far as I can tell, the value being retrieved from AppSearch is "#1234"..
but then when it tries to write it to the registry, the registry value
resolves to ##1234 which is a REG_SZ.
Does anyone know what I should be doing in this case? Or does no one beside
me ( and the original poster, apparently) try to preserve DWORD registry
values?
Thanks,
:D

Is this bug?
Unlikely but it's impossible to say without more details. Can you show a
minimal example that repro's the problem?
