Quicktime is installing when it is already installed

I have a WIX installer bundle that has QuickTime as a prereq. I trying to check a registry key to determine if it's already installed but it always comes back false.

The log shows...

[08B4:040C][2015-07-06T10:50:14]i000: Registry key not found. Key = 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Media\QuickTime' [08B4:040C][2015-07-06T10:50:14]i000: Setting numeric variable 'QuickTimeFound64' to value 0 [08B4:040C][2015-07-06T10:50:14]i000: Registry key not found. Key = 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Media\QuickTime'

The registry is ...

enter image description here

The code is ...

<util:RegistrySearch Root="HKLM" Key="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Media\QuickTime" Result="exists" Variable="QuickTimeFound64" Win64="yes" />
<util:RegistrySearch Root="HKLM" Key="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Media\QuickTime" Result="exists" Variable="QuickTimeFound32" Win64="no" />

    <Chain>
        <PackageGroupRef Id="PackageGroup_NetFx35Redist"/>
        <PackageGroupRef Id="PackageGroup_NetFx40Redist"/>
        <PackageGroupRef Id="PackageGroup_SQLServer2012"/>

        <ExePackage Id="Package_QuickTime" Cache="no" Compressed="$(var.Compressed)" 
                      Description="Apple QuickTime 7" DownloadUrl="$(var.GuruDownloadRepo)/{2}" 
                      SourceFile="..\Prerequisites\QuickTimeInstaller.exe" 
                      Name="Prerequisites\QuickTimeInstaller.exe" 
                      Permanent="yes" DisplayName="Apple QuickTime 7" 
                      DetectCondition="QuickTimeFound64 AND QuickTimeFound32" />

I have tried including "Wow6432Node" in the 64bit path but it didn't make any difference.

Can anyone tell me why both of the searches are coming back as false?

Use

SOFTWARE\Clients\Media\QuickTime

instead of

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Media\QuickTime

because HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE is specified in the Root attribute.
