Before Rob sent his blog article, I sent you the same answer. You just add `or
Installed` to your condition. This way the condition will evaluate to true
during Add/Remove Programs because the program is installed. Durign the
initial installation it is not yet installed so the condition will evaluate the
same as it did before you add `or Installed`.

HI there
Basically i have had to take this conditon out for the mean time as its not
allowign the uninstall of the product using the add remove programs feature.
If there is any information on this i would be greatfull, i have read the
below article and im still none the wiser. I need to be able to only install
the product from the exe (No msi install) and i need to be able to
un-install from the add remove programs from control panel without the
procedure being canceled because the code for the exe
Hoep that makes sence
