Any help would be appreciated... <Property Id="MCT_INSTALLED" Value="0"> <DirectorySearch Id="CheckTOOLSDIR" Path="TOOLSDIR" Depth="0" AssignToProperty="yes"> <FileSearch Id="CheckMCT" Name="MCT.exe"/> </DirectorySearch> </Property> <Property Id="MCT_HAS_RUN" Value="0"> <DirectorySearch Id="MCT_MADE" Path="TOOLSDIR" Depth="0" AssignToProperty="yes"> <FileSearch Id="applications.xml" Name="applications.xml"/> </DirectorySearch> </Property> Log: AppSearch: Property: MCT_INSTALLED, Signature: CheckTOOLSDIR MSI (c) (AC:84) [15:32:30:023]: Note: 1: 1322 2: MSI (c) (AC:84) [15:32:30:023]: Note: 1: 1322 2: AppSearch: Property: MCT_HAS_RUN, Signature: MCT_MADE MSI (c) (AC:84) [15:32:30:023]: Note: 1: 1322 2: MSI (c) (AC:84) [15:32:30:023]: Note: 1: 1322 2: . . .
