No news on this? I can add that I am still using WiX 3.5.2519 (since we move
slowly here) and have noticed that a similar thing happens with another similar
use of the registry in another installer. The fact that it is an upgrade is
seemingly irrelevant as I do replace-all style upgrades anyway. (with a check
to prevent downgrades, as one sees).
Is this * and + stuff a red herring? Does having "create" as the action not do
the trick every time?

Subject: Registry key problem
I've been trying to do an upgrade of one of my products with the following WXS
file. As you can see from the bottom of it, there's an attempt to install a
Windows log source (so that a non-privileged user can use the application
without further ado). This looks correct; the similar auto-generation for the
original version works as far as I can tell. However, the resulting installer
fails to create the source correctly - I see nothing under the relevant key at
all (I noticed this when the application complained). Looking with Orca, I see
the two registry entries "repeated", after a fashion, and with what looks like
strange names (and empty values)
reg9AA99B7EB17E239A147BF7246A59A4CC 1 Software\Statistics

Any idea what is going on here? (Note the first key is just the usual hack to
get a shortcut to work right.)
