The documentation had a registry entry:
<RegistryValue Root="HKCU"
Key="Software\Microsoft\MyApplicationName" Name="installed" Type="integer"
Value="1" KeyPath="yes"/>

What Registry Entry are you referring to? In that entire sample there is but
one RegistryValue which is simply a stub entry used as a KeyPath for a
component.
It appears you're missing the entire point of that How To guide. The purpose is
to create a clickable shortcut which will uninstall your product. The sample
code shows how to do that & place the shortcut under the Start Menu entry for
the sample product.

Subject: [WiX-users] Uninstall shortcut?
The link to install an uninstall link seems to be outdated:
http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/create_an_uninstall_shortcut.htm
Specifically the registry entry does not exist. I am thinking it should be
something like HKCU/Micosoft/Installer/Products. Also the application name
doesn't seem to come into play. In the registry there is what looks like a GUID
that is the key name. I am not sure where this value is derived.
Here is the exported key for an installed product:
