Phil, To Others,
Thanks for the reply. So the return value is what is shown below. I
don't see the words "PROPERTY CHANGE" setting the property value
anywhere. Furthermore, I don't see the property I'm trying to use
anywhere either. My goal is rather simple, I am just stumbling
everywhere. If the folder is there, then install the file. Otherwise,
skip. If the folder is inaccessible, unavailable, or missing, don't
install the file.
<Property Id="M_USER" Value="C:\Documents and Settings\M" Secure="no"/>
<Property Id="FILEEXISTS">
<DirectorySearch Id="CheckDir" Path="[M_USER]" Depth="0"/>
</Property>
From reviewing the log files, I don't see the FILEEXISTS property
anywhere. Does this mean that if the file isn't found the property isn't
created? My thoughts were it would create the property but it would set
the value to 0 / no. If it's not created does the installer default to
"yes" / "True"?
The file is installed, so I would like to work out why. I don't see any
references to FILEEXISTS in the log otherwise so I'm perplexed on why
the condition below is understood as true.
<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>
Once again, thanks for your time and effort.
