As far as I can tell the RegistryValue is not used. What is the purpose of the
registry value? I have installed a WiX generated .msi file and it did not add
any such registry entry. The shortcut that was generated does not refer to the
Registry at all. Here is the code that I used.
<DirectoryRef Id="BsiServicesFolder">
<Component Id="ApplicationShortcut"
Guid="536EBF29-1507-4246-B0EA-BEA60B76879C">
<Shortcut Id="UninstallProduct"
Name="Uninstall BsiServices"
Description="Uninstalls The Brain"
Target="[System64Folder]msiexec.exe"
Arguments="/x [ProductCode]"/>
<RemoveFolder Id="SERVICEINSTALLDIR" On="uninstall"/>
<RemoveFolder Id="WPFINSTALLDIR" On="uninstall"/>
<RemoveFolder Id="INSTALLATIONINSTALLDIR" On="uninstall"/>
<RegistryValue Root="HKCU" Key="Software\[Manufacturer]\[ProductName]"
Name="installed" Type="integer" Value="1" KeyPath="yes"/>
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>

Are you saying that the example doesn't work? In what way does it fail?
