ComponentSearch/@Guid is the value of the Component/@Guid you want to search
for, known as the Component ID. For both the x86 and x64 SQL products, I
recommend you open each MSI and find that file in the File table. Take note of
the Component_ column in the File table for sqlserver.exe in each, then find
that component in the Component table. Use the value in the ComponentId column
for that row.
This locates the component based on the component ID. That's what Windows
Installer registers for component. The ComponentSearch finds the location of
that component. Then your FileSearch checks that the required file (with all
your parameters specified) is there and, yes, sets the Property/@Id to the path
of that file.

Isn't the ComponentSearch Guid value an arbitrary ID in this case? The
FileSearch sets the value of the SQLSERVER property based on the file version
of "sqlservr.exe". This isn't a file we're installing, it's the main SQL
runtime which is required to already exist on the box.
I tried searching on that guid on an x86 box were the test works and it wasn't
found in the registry. Does it have some meaning I'm not familiar with?

Have you verified that the component GUID is the same for the 64-bit component?

Subject: [WiX-devs] FileSearch on x64
The following FileSearch element works as expected on x86 machines but it
doesn't work on x64 machines, with 64bit SQL, even though the file version of
sqlservr.exe appears to be the same. Does FileSearch not support x64? Is
there a trick to make it work?
<Property Id="SQLSERVER">
<ComponentSearch Id="SQLSERVER"
Guid="42171F06-AFD9-4AD9-956E-9B68326429DE" Type="file">
<FileSearch Id="SQLSERVER" Name="sqlservr.exe"
MinVersion="9.0.2047.0" />
</ComponentSearch>
</Property>
Thanks,
Chris
