Wouldn't your x86 search need to search the WoW6432Node of HKLM to be correct? HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall But also, it seems to me that you should be using the MSI API (MsiGetProductInfo specifically) in a custom action to get information about other in

Glad it works for you. To explain the logic, it's adding a clause to each condition so that it will resolve to true if you're on the *other* architecture. So: Installed OR (SQLSYNCX64SEARCH > "0" AND VersionNT64) OR (NOT VersionNT64) This is the x64 search, and resolves to true under the fol

That would only work at build time, if you were compiling an x86 MSI and an x64 MSI. I think you just need to extend your condition to something like this: Installed OR (SQLSYNCX64SEARCH > "0" AND VersionNT64) OR (NOT VersionNT64) Installed OR (SQLSYNCX86SEARCH > "0" AND NOT VersionNT64) O

My approach to the problem is to just detect the problem during installation and inform the user about it. If there are files found on the target folder after the previous version should have been uninstalled (after RemoveExistingProducts step) then abort the installation. More details: http://stac
