Are you sure that the registry key that you are looking for exists on the target machine?

I've tried all the suggestions but nothing works. And there is definitely an AppSearch segment in my .msi file. I've done the steps from the tutorial but they're apparently insufficient. Also - when I check my logs, I'm not actually getting even a report of my registry search. This is incredibly frustrating. Here is the entirety of my wxs file. The 3 files are indeed installed in the ml directory, but the ml directory is in the wrong place - d:\ instead of wherever sharepoint is. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2003/01/wi";> <Product Manufacturer="My Software Corp."
