Don't confuse "AppSearch worked fine" with "AppSearch did or didn't find my file", not to mention that AppSearch could be searching for multiple items, and not all of them files.
The indicator is whether the property is set or not. When I look at verbose logs for AppSearch I see an explicit entry "PROPERTY CHANGE" setting the property value to something if it finds it. I can't exactly tell from your message whether it's finding it or not, and what your expectation is. That folder may not be accessible -if you're not elevated at that time and you're not user M I don't know for sure if you'd see the file (a search in the UI sequence).

Currently I have the following: <Property Id="M_USER" Value="C:\Documents and Settings\M" Secure="no"/> <Property Id="FILEEXISTS"> <DirectorySearch Id="CheckDir" Path="[M_USER]" Depth="0"/> </Property> <Component Id="M_WorkAround" Guid="{5XA4XXDD-XXXX-4X79-XXXX-D065X918BXX6}" Win64="no" KeyPath="yes"> <Condition>FILEEXISTS</Condition> <File Id="sysFile.sys" Name="sysFile.sys" Source="sysFile.sys" Checksum="yes" /> </Component> Unfortunately, the installer always defaults to '1'. At the same time it also does the following: AppSearch: Property: FILEEXISTS, Signature: CheckFileDir MSI (c) (14:58) [17:05:09:650]: Note: 1: 2262 2: Signature 3: -2147287038 Action ended 17:05:09: AppSearch. Return value 1. According to a blog entry by Heath Stewart that should be|| STG_E_FILENOTFOUND, which could mean exactly what I want: The file isn't present. If that's the case, why is 1 being returned from AppSearch? Thank You for your time.
