windows installer - Wix v3.7 - Error Writing Registry Values -


i'm creating installer using wix , i'm having problems writing registry. here registryvalue element:

<component id="cmp_odbcreg" guid="{115b002e-f4c9-48cd-8e1c-e8803b16ae69}">         <registryvalue id="rg_psql"                         root="hklm"                         key="software\odbc\odbcinst.ini\odbc drivers"                         name="postgresql"                         value="installed"                         type="string"                         keypath="yes"                         action="write"/> </component> 

nothing being written registry. component in main install feature, should write registry. looked @ log file , found this:

msi (s) (60:1c) [00:00:07:080]: doing action: writeregistryvalues msi (s) (60:1c) [00:00:07:080]: note: 1: 2205 2:  3: actiontext  action 0:00:07: writeregistryvalues. writing system registry values action start 0:00:07: writeregistryvalues. writeregistryvalues: key: writing system registry values, name: , value:  action ended 0:00:07: writeregistryvalues. return value 1. 

i don't know if i'm interpreting right, seems nothing being written registry @ all. have several other components generated using heat contain registryvalue elements should have been executed in addition cmp_odbcreg. checked windows registry , confirmed no values being written.

i have wix manual contains example of writing registry. tried copying , pasting installer , adding main install feature. didn't work either

please help!

so turns out looking @ wrong registry. windows 7 machines have 32 bit , 64 bit registry, should have been looking @ regedit.exe found in windows\syswow64.
