If your product is the same family as those you're detecting, then you might take advantage of FindRelatedProducts action: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368600.aspx. This is supported in WiX toolset via UpgradeVersion element, which actually maps to the Upgrade MSI table, and FindRelatedProducts element, which is there for sequencing purpose, as far as I can see (never used it myself yet).
If otherwise your product has nothing in common with those you'd like to detect, then it might require custom action. DTF contains a class ProductInstallation, which defines a method GetRelatedProducts(upgradeCode), it's probably what you need (if your installation is compatible with managed custom actions). That's just an assumption, there might be better techniques for this. Hope this helps. -- Yan -----Original Message----- From: Eitan Behar [mailto:ei...@baconao.net] Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2009 10:14 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] Detecting if a product is installed and setting property Hi, Is there a way to detect if a product family is installed according to its product code, and set a property accordingly? I need to stop the setup if certain products are not installed, and I only have their upgrade codes, not the product code.
