Thanks for the reply Chad. I've tried increasing the Depth to say 4 as well as providing and absolute path to the assembly and when I compile, I get the following error:
Error 1 When the parent DirectorySearch/@Depth attribute is greater than 1 for the DirectorySearch 'GACPath', the FileSearch/@Id attribute must be absent for FileSearch 'CslaFileSearch' unless the parent DirectorySearch/@AssignToProperty attribute value is 'yes'. Remove the FileSearch/@Id attribute for 'CslaFileSearch' to resolve this issue. C:\Source\MS-Intelliscript\ProjectDeployments\ProjectDeployments\eCoPayWebSite.Setup\ConditionChecks.wxi 18 1 eCoPayWebSite.Setup Now I've also tried removing the ID for my FileSearch as the error suggests, but each time I run the installer it stops with my Condition message not matter what I try. I'm trying to essentially provide a base path of %systemroot%\assembly\ and have the installer do a recursive search for the assembly I specify within my FileSearch as the assembly could reside in a number of sub-folders like you specified. I must be missing something simple, because it doesn't seem that it should be so difficult to get this to work.
