That registry search doesn't look right to me. Using a (editor inheritance) framework check as a model:
<Property Id="FRAMEWORKBASEPATH"> <RegistrySearch Id="FindFrameworkDir" Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework" Name="InstallRoot" Type="raw" > </RegistrySearch> </Property> but you also have file and directory in yours. If you want to know if your InstallDir item is there, and that's what drives the condition, then what are the file/directory search entries for? A registry search will initialize a property, and a file search will initialize another property, that's what the underlying AppSearch does.
