No such thing as a standard directory for GAC. ComponentSearch would be the ideal (you shouldn't need a FileSearch) but I hear you on the GUID problem. Have to verify that the guid would remain stable.
-----Original Message----- From: Kevin Fischer [mailto:kevinfischer...@hotmail.com] Sent: Friday, February 06, 2009 14:59 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Recommendations needed on checking GAC for installation or ComponentSearch I need to determine if a feature from SQL Server has been installed (SMO) in my MSI. This feature can be installed via the core SQL Server package or via standalone redist MSIs. I know I need only a few DLLs installed by this feature's component into the GAC. Is the recommended way to detect this via ComponentSearch/FileSearch (I know the Component IDs) or a DirectorySearch/FileSearch on the GAC? My concern with the ComponentSearch would be if they revise their GUIDs in the future. If I do the GAC search, is there a WIX variable I can use for the GAC directory?
