Unfortunately I don't have really time yet to do some trials and I am not using
registry key checking often (when, then I am checking for values). There are
some limitations in the API provided by Microsoft which might have the effect
that keys which do not have a "default value" might be detected as
"non-existent". You might try to set the default value for
"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UpgradeCodes\AA5D9C68C00F12943B2F6CA09FE28244"
to some value or check for a value within this key instead as already suggested
by Falko.

Alternatively you might use an "exec" type check and use "reg query" to check if
keys are existing.
