Hi,
I've recently done something similar. I look at the registry to see if
MSMQ is installed and store the result in a property:
<Property Id='MSMQAVAILABLE'>
<RegistrySearch Id="MSMQIsInstalled"
Root="HKLM"
Key="System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSMQ"
Name="ImagePath"
Type="raw" />
</Property>
Note, this is for windows7, other version may be different.
Then if it isn't available I use custom actions to install it using
DISM, this is only available on newer versions of windows.
<Property Id="msmqcontainer" Value='"dism.exe" /online /Enable-Feature
/FeatureName:MSMQ-Container /norestart'/>
<CustomAction Id="msmqcontainer"
BinaryKey="WixCA"
DllEntry="CAQuietExec"
Execute="deferred"
Return='check'
/>
<Custom Action="msmqcontainer" Before="InstallFinalize" >NOT
MSMQAVAILABLE</Custom>
Unfortunately, MSMQ requires a reboot after installation before you can
create the queues.
I then have a separate feature for the queues dependent on
MSMQAVAILABLE.
<Feature Id='MSMQqueues' Level='1'>
<ComponentRef Id='msmqueues'/>
<Condition Level='0'>NOT MSMQAVAILABLE</Condition>
</Feature>
If MSMQ was installed as part of the process I then ask for a reboot.
I'd like to then install the queues on the next reboot, but haven't
figured that part out yet. My software will set the queues up if
they're missing, but I can end up in a chicken and egg situation so I'd
prefer to do it with the installer.

Subject: [WiX-users] Wix and MSMQ: MSMQ Detection
Hi,
I have to create a message queue if MSMQ is installed. If MSMQ is not
installed then move forward without doing anything.
Is there a way, we can found that whether MSMQ is installed in
MSMQExtension
dll.
I know, We can use Registry for the same but installer will fail if MSMQ
is
not installed.
Please help.
Thanks,
Mark
