Remember Property pattern with DWORD registry items

[cubt85iz]

As indicated in the documentation for RegistrySearch, I'm getting a pound sign prepended to the DWORD values that I'm trying to remember. I don't see any guidance indicating how to deal with this pound sign. Is there a way to remove it? The type for the registry value written by RegistryValue is changed when I supply the returned value even though I'm explicitly setting the type to integer.

Confirmed that removing the type from the RegistryValue caused the MSI to create a DWORD registry value instead of a string. Not ideal, but may work.
