It doesn't seem to work, it undefines the variable if the registry value
doesn't exist.
So this is what I am trying:
<Variable Name="Test" Type="numeric" Value="1" Persisted="yes"
bal:Overridable="yes" />
<util:RegistrySearch Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\ACME" Value="Test"
Variable="Test" />
It I run the bundle and look in the log I see this:
[2080:1F4C][2012-10-30T14:49:33]: Initializing numeric variable 'Test' to value
'1'
But if the registry value doesn't exist at the end of the log file where the
variables are listed "Test" is missing.
As a workaround I am having to do this:
<Variable Name="Test" Type="numeric" Value="1" Persisted="yes"
bal:Overridable="yes" />
<util:RegistrySearch Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\ACME" Value="Test"
Result="exists" Variable="TestSearch" />
<util:RegistrySearch Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\ACME" Value="Test"
Variable="Test" Condition="TestSearch" />
Is this a bug?

Does it work if you define the Variable and give it a value? The RegistrySearch
runs later and should update it.
