1, I think you may be missing Uninstall from your key path. e.g. "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\[ProductCode]"
2, Not sure what you are aiming at here, dtf is an api that helps you access the windows installer, did you make a custom action project? 3, I've not really done instance transforms, they always seem more trouble than they are worth, sorry. -----Original Message----- From: Tyler Walters [mailto:tyler.walters...@gmail.com] Sent: 07 April 2011 20:31 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] A RegistrySearch question and Multi-Instance questions. 1. RegistrySearch. I am trying to do a registry search and it is not working. <Property Id="USERINSTANCENAME"> <RegistrySearch Id="InstanceNameSearch" Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\[ProductCode]" Name="InstanceName" Type="raw" /> </Property> Now I thought it was just this simple, but the property is not being set. Here is part of the log. (If you need more of the log, let me know). I have gone into the registry and manually verified that the registry value is set. This log comes from doing a repair after installing. AppSearch: Property: USERINSTANCENAME, Signature: InstanceNameSearch MSI (c) (04:D8) [12:14:45:067]: Note: 1: 2262 2: Signature 3: -2147287038 MSI (c) (04:D8) [12:14:45:067]: Note: 1: 1402 2: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\{A53A5F7C-7AF1-4 854-9B4F-01A6C77CC4AB} 3: 2 Action ended 12:14:45: AppSearch. Return value 1. 2. Multi-Instance. I have a boot strapper that is using Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller (or DTF) and when it builds, a dll and an xml file are created. The problem is that I now have an msi, dll, and xml file that I cannot figure out how to package into a single exe. Does anyone have a suggestion on how this could be handled. 3. Multi-Instance. I am having a problem doing major upgrades. I ran into the problem of all instances being uninstalled instead of just the specified instance. I learned each instance needs to be part of its own upgradecode family, so now each instance transform has its own upgradcode. The problem is that I can't figure out now how to search for the specific upgradcode code and mark it for uninstallation. I was trying to use the 'Upgrade' element, but it doesn't allow for a condition, which is the only way I see it working. What have other people done to make multi-instance major upgrades work?
