WiX Burn 3.7 and Postgresql Registry Search fail -

i'm trying build bundle postgresql prerequisite. i'm trying detect postgresql searching registry follows:

<fragment> <util:registrysearch id ="postgresqlpath_x64"    root="hklm"    key="software\postgresql\installations\postgresql-x64-9.1"    result="exists"    variable="postgresqlinstalled_x64"    win64="yes" />  <util:registrysearch id="postgresql_x86"   root="hklm"   key="software\postgresql\installations\postgresql-9.1"   result="exists"   variable="postgresqlinstalled_x86"    win64="no"/> 

and use in exepackage:

<exepackage sourcefile="..\..\bin\external_software\postgresql\postgresql-9.1.6-1-windows-x64.exe"               installcommand="$(var.postgresqlinstallcommand)"               installcondition="versionnt64"               detectcondition="postgresqlinstalled_x64"                permachine="yes"                compressed="yes"/>    <exepackage sourcefile="..\..\bin\external_software\postgresql\postgresql-9.1.6-1-windows.exe"               installcommand="$(var.postgresqlinstallcommand)"               installcondition="(not versionnt64)"               detectcondition="postgresqlinstalled_x86"               permachine="yes" compressed="yes" />   

it evaluates false when postgresql installed, no matter on win version (x86 or x64) i'm testing.
doing wrong here or? :/

here compete log file of install:

burn not calling either of registrysearch elements because you've defined them in <fragment> haven't referenced them in <bundle>.

you can 1 of following:

• add <util:registrysearchref> elements inside <bundle>
• nest <util:registrysearch> elements under <bundle>

according rob mensching in mailing list post, referencing item in fragment <foobarref> element brings in whole fragment:

when 1 thing referenced in fragment whole fragment pulled in.... other elements list typically support elements can go in item can referenced. example, xxxsequence elements can go in fragment customaction being scheduled. use customactionref say, "hey, want customaction , don't want think how gets scheduled."

when <registrysearch> elements being referenced, you'll see log entries this:
