I’m trying to disable registry reflection in WiX.
Because I want to write in Key="Software\\[Manufacturer]\\[ProductName]", regardless of platform. When I install my app on x64 platform, installer replace key "Software\Wow6432Node\\[Manufacturer]\\[ProductName]"

When I set DisableRegistryReflection="yes" attribute, installer still write to "Software\Wow6432Node\\[Manufacturer]\\[ProductName]".

<Component DisableRegistryReflection="yes" Id="SampleID">
  <RegistryKey Root="HKLM" Key="Software\[Manufacturer]\[Product Name]" Action="createAndRemoveOnUninstall">
     <RegistryValue Type="string" Value="[UpdaterLocation]" Name="RootFolder"/>
  </RegistryKey>
</Component>
