Hi,
I am beginner in WIX, and a couple of days back I had a similar issue.
The following are the changes i made after help from this group.
Added the following line in <InstallUISequence> and <InstallExecuteSequence>
<LaunchConditions After='AppSearch' />
This will ensure that the LaunchConditions are executed only after searching.
This is the code from my wxs file
<Condition Message="Software is not installed "> SUITEINSTALLDIR </Condition>
<Property Id="SUITEINSTALLDIR"> <RegistrySearch Id='BOBJRegistry' Type='raw'
Root='HKLM' Key='Software\Company\Suite 12.0\Shared' Name='SuiteInstallDir' />
</Property>
<InstallUISequence>
<LaunchConditions After='AppSearch' />
</InstallUISequence>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<LaunchConditions After='AppSearch' />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
Thanks,
Bala.

Subject: [WiX-users] merge module that conditionally installs a
component
To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net

I have created a plugin for the PIM Act! This plugin dll must be installed
in a subfolder of the Act! installation directory only if Act! is installed.
I would like to package the plugin in a merge module so that different teams
at our company can use it by simply including it in their installer
project. All the teams use InstallShield except the team I am on (I am
working on that). I would like to write the merge module using WiX.
The merge module I have written works great if Act! is installed, but fails
miserably when Act! is not. It still installs the plugin, but to a location
relative to C:. I am getting Act's installation folder fine, but I think
the way I am defining the Directory element is wrong.
I am retrieving the Act installation folder using this fragment:
Root='HKLM' Key='SOFTWARE\ACT\Install' Name='InstallPath' />
and defining the plugin folder like this:
Guid='31A99920-6E0A-4e31-B569-180D46439930'>
/>
ACTPATH <> ""
What happens when Act! is not installed is that the plugin is installed in
c:\ActDir\plugins which does make sense because in the absence of the
ACTPATH property, "ActDir" is set as the actual name of the folder. So it
is clear that I don't have a good understanding how this should be written.
Can someone explain the right way to do this if it is even possible?
