System Search Wizard: Failure after adding RegLocator/IniLocator searches

Fast way to reproduce:
Create a minimal Basic MSI Project,
From "System Search Wizard" add Predefined Search "Adobe Reader 10.0"

With Installshield 2016 you get:
AppSearch and RegLocator Signature_ column is filled in red. :confused:
During build no error, no warning,
At run time the associated property is empty, then you are unable to retrieve the reg data value. :mad:

Originaly I followed the Installshield TIP : "Saving MSI property values to make them available after the initial installation"

With Installshield 2015 SP1, this works perfectly.

The Broken References Indicator has been introduced in InstallShield 2016. There are instances where a Direct Editor table record might reference a foreign key record that no longer exists. InstallShield now displays the cells of such broken references with a red fill color to call attention to the broken reference. It is just an IDE enhancement that lets you easily identify orphaned records. It does not affect any run-time behavior. If the installation built using InstallShield 2015 works as expected, compare with the MSI built using InstallShield 2016 and see if there are any difference between the packages.
