System Search behavior when search for registry entry

[Mandivamba]

I am using system search to get a registry value, I explicitly set the registry to be searched as this snippet  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE  however it fails to get the value and when when I look at the installer logs, its for some weird reason that I  am failing to understand its searching for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE32\SOFTWARE.

MSI (c) (58:EC) [03:29:20:175]: Note: 1: 1402 2: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE32\SOFTWARE

Anyone know why this 32 is being added to the registry search?
