Hi Bryan, Two problems here. First, if you want a launch condition based on successful search, use just RENDERINGINSTALL. Drop != "" stuff. Second, by saying Type="directory" you are indicating that search is not done yet and you want to continue with the search and use the data in the registry, if found any, as a starting point for file or directory search. If all you want is just a presence of the registry key or value, set Type attribute to "raw". If you still want to use Type='directory", you need to add child element(s) FileSearch/DirectorySearch.

I am using Mondo_UI. The product installs no matter what. Can someone give me an example of how to make this work, thanks.
