I would like to have a conditional based on the presence of a certain file on 
the end user's drive.  The file is in the user's directory, so I would like to 
use some environment variables to locate it.  This is essentially what I want:

<Property Id="FILE_TEST">
  <DirectorySearch Id="File_Path" Path=" %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%" Depth="0">
    <FileSearch Id="File" Name="foo.txt" />
  </DirectorySearch>
</Property>

<Condition Message="This setup requires a certain file">
  FILE_TEST
</Condition>

Which does not work.  Note that I am not looking to use pre-processor variables 
such as $(env.HOMEDRIVE)$(env.HOMEPATH) because then the string would be tied 
to my user directory, and not the person who is running the installer.

Is this possible, or do I have to get this info out of the registry?

Thanks,
-Ben
