Designer for Wix, Registry Tool doesn't show any code modification

I developed a Wix Project with VS 2013 and Designer for Wix. The project builds an installer that allows multiple instances installation, using Instance Transforms.

Everything works perfectly, but Registry Tool doesn't show anything I wrote in my code about Registry Keys.
In fact, when I wrote code like this: 

<Component Id="RegComponent" Guid="C74E20FC-73AF-4640-82B6-812B4BE839C5" MultiInstance="yes">
            <RegistryKey Id="MainRegKey" Action="createAndRemoveOnUninstall" Root="HKCU" Key="Software[ProductName]Installer">
              <RegistryValue Id="MainRegValue" Name="InstanceId" Value="[INSTANCEID]" Type="string" />
              <RegistryValue Id="InstallPathValue" Name="Location" Value="[ProductNameFolder]" Type="string" />
              <RegistryValue Id="ProductCodeValue" Name="ProductCode" Value="[ProductCode]" Type="string" />
              <RegistryValue Id="ProductNameValue" Name="ProductName" Value="[ProductName]" Type="string" />
              <RegistryValue Id="ProductVersionValue" Name="ProductVersion" Value="[ProductVersion]" Type="string" />
            </RegistryKey>
          </Component>


I'd like to see something at an "higher level" in Registry Tool.
Why there is nothing?

Hello Costanzo,

I suppose the Registry Editor cannot recognize the component you've created. I suggest that you do this from another side: add these registry keys and values using the Registry Editor.

Hello Andrei,
I tried to follow your suggestion, but the when I add a new RegistryKey, the Registry View doesn't permit to set the Key to
Software\[ProductName]\Installer


Why?

Hello Costanzo,

How does the issue look like? What do you mean by "the Registry View doesn't permit ..."?
