I think what you want to do could be done with a: 1) Launch condition dependent on a property; 2) The property is set based on a Registry Search, File Search, or Component Search.

I know in advance the Update Code of this application (that, of course, is also installed from an MSI file) and wrote the following code: *<?define ThirdPartAppVersion = "3.8.5" ?> <?define ThirdPartAppUpgradeCode="19F5AC25-ETC..."?> <Upgrade Id="$(var.ThirdPartAppUpgradeCode)"> <UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect='yes' Property='NOTFOUND' Minimum='$(var.ThirdPartAppVersion)' Maximum='$(var.ThirdPartAppVersion)' /> <Property Id="NOTFOUND" Secure="yes" /> </Upgrade> <CustomAction Id='ThirdPartAppInvalid' Error='Third Part Application not found in the correct version.' /> <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action='ThirdPartAppInvalid' After='FindRelatedProducts'>NOTFOUND</Custom> </InstallExecuteSequence> * But the custom action is never activated, being the third-part application installed in the correct version or not! I'm in doubt if the Upgrade tag was design to execute such a function (checking another application status, without interfering with it). Anybody know what can be wrong with my code? Or anybody know another way to do the same think in a more elegant way?
