If you are searching for a registry entry that contains a file path or folder, the file or folder must exist on the target system in order for the search to be successful. Otherwise, the value from the search is not set to a property.
If you are searching for a file or folder, the full path to that item is stored in the property. If you are searching for a registry value, the data of that value is stored in the property. The same holds true for .ini files. For components, the key path to the component is in the property.
To get the property using script, see MsiGetProperty in the Windows Installer Help Library.
