Hello, is is possible to check with RegistrySearch if a specified RegKey exists? All my tests failed yet. I want to check if the .NET 1.1 Framework is installed. It should be installed if the Key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\.NETFramework\policy\v1.1 exists. Alex ---

I am trying to make my .msi uninstall my app if its already on the users computer, the problem is I don't know what makes that happen. Is there a special property or something I need to do in order to make it uninstall the app -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Uninstalling-

If your app wasn't installed by an MSI before hand, you'll need a custom action to handle this for you.  You will also need a way of conditioning the custom action to run only when your app is found.  Searching for a registry key might be something to look into.  If you had previously installed wit

This email touches on a problem I'm having. I'm also using MSBuild (via TeamBuild) to talk to WiX to generate msi's. There is mention here of support for incremental build as '(a task will only run if source files have changed)'. Presumably this concerns changes to the .wxs source files, but what a

No its not that, its just that in my organization I have a large number of msi's and each time there is a build I only want to subsequently release what has changed since the last build and release. If only certain msi's get built as part of my build process I know that is all that needs to be rele
