I was having the same issue after converting from Wix2 to Wix3. Once I added
<LaunchConditions After="AppSearch" /> To both InstallUISequence and InstallExecuteSequence then it started working right for me. Sounds like what you already tried. If so, use Orca to inspect both sequence tables and see if it shows up there in the proper order. It seems to me that was all I did at the time, but it's been a few months since I converted. It took a few tries to see it correct in Orca. Not sure if my OBJ files were not getting updated and hence no change to the MSI at first. At least I can confirm that it worked for one person. -----Original Message----- From: Sean Farrow [mailto:sean.far...@seanfarrow.co.uk] Sent: Monday, October 04, 2010 12:58 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

All I need to do is see a particularly registry key exists.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Issues when evaluating a condition Both will do it, but if Orca is already installed it is usually faster. Dark will usually only show the derivation from the "standard" sequence, which happens to check launch conditions before running AppSearch (just the opposite of what you want). -----Original Message----- From: Sean Farrow [mailto:sean.far...@seanfarrow.co.uk] Sent: Monday, October 04, 2010 4:51 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Issues when evaluating a condition Will decompiling the msi with dark give me the sequence tables, or is orca the only way?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Issues when evaluating a condition Verify the order between the AppSearch and the LaunchConditions actions in the sequence table. You may have to explicitly set one before or after the other. -----Original Message----- From: Sean Farrow [mailto:sean.far...@seanfarrow.co.uk] Sent: Sunday, October 03, 2010 10:10 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Issues when evaluating a condition Hi: I'm trying to write a launch condition for my installer. I have the following fragment: <!--is JAWS installed at all--> <Fragment> <Property Id="ISJAWSINSTALLED" Value ="JAWSNotInstalled"> <RegistrySearch Id="JAWSInstallRootSearch" Type="raw" Root="HKLM" Key="Software\Freedom Scientific\JAWS"/> </Property> </Fragment> When the registry search takes place, it should set the value of the property to "" I hthen have the following condition: <Condition Message="This application requires JAWS to be installed."> <![CDATA[Installed OR ISJAWSINSTALLED ="JAWSNotInstalled"]]> </Condition> The condition is still evaluated to true, even after the registry search has happened, I know the product is installed, having checked using regedit. Anyone got any ideas?
