You're trying to search WoW6432Node from a 32-bit process. It doesn't exist in that context. Remove it from your Key & it'll magically* work.
*Note: no actual magic is involved as it's a fictional concept which doesn't exist. The Windows-on-Windows subsystem does all the clever stuff redirecting 32-bit processes to the correct places on a 64-bit operating system behind the scenes.

I ma having trouble reading if a key exists in registry. The key that I am using for is in HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\MyApplication\MyApp. I am using the following code: <Property Id="ISPRESENT"> <RegistrySearch Id="PathSearch" Root="HKLM" Type="raw" Key="Software\Wow6432Node\MyApplication\MyApp" Name="DbPath" Win64="yes" /> </Property> Whether or not DbPath exists, the ISPRESENT is not set. I compared the ISPRESENT value with 1 and #1, nothing works. I also tried not using Wow6432Node, still it fails. what am I doing wrong?
