Are you certain you are creating an x86 msi package? Are you using a 32-bit process to view the contents of the registry? If yes, then the location looks exactly as it should.
If you are certain that you are using a 64-bit process to view the contents of the registry then I would revisit the bitness of the msi package itself. Edwin G.
