Requirement registry value

Currently using InstallShield LE in Visual Studio 2015. My objective is to stop the installation before any redistributables are installed if Windows Vista is detected. I created a custom requirements to check the value of the Operating System version in the registry, although I have not been able to get this feature to work. I have tried many different syntax with no success. Is this feature not functioning, or do I have it miss-configured? If it is a syntax problem, could someone please provide correct syntax example?

Example of search parameters.
Registry Root: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Registry Key: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\CurrentVersion
Registry Value: 6.0

Hello Gary,

The requirements are checked as part of the MSI.
The setup wrapper launches the prerequisite before the MSI, so the requirements have not been evaluated.
