Windows Installer thinks that it's a 32bit installer being installed on a 64 bit system so, it looks in the 32bit compatibility area of the registry (Wow6432Node). You need to set Win64="yes" on the RegistrySearch element. I'm not sure if that's all you need to do or not, I've never tried to access the 64 bit registry from a 32 bit MSI. Do you want a 32bit or 64bit installer? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
