Hi,
One way would be to add Registry serach and assign the registry serach
result to a property. Later you can use the property based on its value to
check whether DB2 installed on the target machine or not.

If you have multiple Upgrade entries for all the UpgradeCode values you want to
upgrade that should work fine and uninstall them all. There's no rule that
says an upgrade must upgrade only one installed product.

Thanks David. I did it this way by putting them in a component and adding
the component as a feature.
But, can I do this based on a condition, like a property value set from the
ui?
Thanks a lot.

No, you did not misstate your question, but the point was that the
application will not run (based on what you said earlier) and I believe
that a working application is easier to install than a non-working one.
This is especially true if you have an managed custom actions etc, that

It's also required in a few cases. For example, the ServiceInstall table in an

Hey Jon,
If you could add a bug to sourceforge.net for this issue and how to repro it
that would be great. The warning message was specific to the -cg switch.
This warning is being removed in WiX 3.5.

Clearly I've stated my question wrong. My problem right now is with the
intsaller. My installer works fine on 32 bit machines, but when I try to
use it on a 64 bit machine running Vista 64 it fails. My main app and all
it's Dlls are compiled as x86.
> I really does not matter what the install is
Just in case anyone else gets caught by this there is an exception. If
you install a .net service with a 32 bit msi it will be marked as 32
bit and runs as 32 bit even though it is anycpu.

Hi Brian,
Thanks for your reply. It appears that the duplication is only happening when
using the -cg switch. I've tried all other switches from my original email and
all seem fine. Strangely, I also only receive the warning regarding having too
many components per feature when using the -cg
Hey Jon,
This should definately not be happening. Does this happen if you do just a
-pog:Binaries or -pog:Sources switch. It could be a bug with that particular
switch. Have you tried removing the -cg switch as well? Just giving you some
scenarios to run so we can track down what is going on.

I would agree with Blair. While I use a combination of InstallShield and WiX
to do what I describe, your scenario where the customer builds the final
package rather then your internal build team would lend me to suggest that
you'd want to ship all WiX to your customers.

Additional info:
I created a small .net-application which lists all environment variables
in the system (uses System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariables();)
And that returned:
