Dear WiX Gurus [ I need to get this to work for the Product / .msi directly, not by using Bundle / Burn ] [ Using WiX 3.6 ]
---------------- Fragment that Puts Registry Value into a Variable ---------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"; xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension";> <?include $(sys.CURRENTDIR)Deployment\Data\Statics.wxi ?> <Fragment> <util:RegistrySearch Root="HKCU" Key="$(var.Line.Reg.Path)" Value="Version" Variable="AppAlreadyInstalled" /> </Fragment> </Wix> ---------------- Main Product with Non-Working Condition ---------------- <Product Name="$(var.App.Title)" Manufacturer="!(loc.Company)" Language="!(loc.Lang)" Id="*" Version="$(var.VersionNumber)" UpgradeCode="$(var.App.UpgradeCode)"> <Package Id="*" InstallerVersion="300" Compressed="yes" InstallScope="$(var.App.Elevation)" InstallPrivileges="limited" /> <DirectoryRef Id="TARGETDIR" /> <MajorUpgrade Schedule="afterInstallValidate" DowngradeErrorMessage="!(loc.Msi.NewerVersionInstalled)" /> <Property Id='DiskPrompt' Value="$(var.App.Title) Installation Media" /> <Media Id="1" Cabinet="Media.cab" EmbedCab="yes" DiskPrompt="#1" /> <Icon Id="AppIcon" SourceFile="$(var.Icon.Path)" /> <Condition Message="Newer version already installed."> <![CDATA[Installed OR AppAlreadyInstalled]]> </Condition> <Feature Id="ProductFeature" Level="1"> ... </Feature> </Product> ---------------- Issues ---------------- I believe AppAlreadyInstalled is never set at the moment because it is in a fragement in a different file? Then I actually want the installation to proceed if the registry value is NOT found at all / does not exist ? But if it does it exist, I would like the installation to proceed only if the registry value is below a certain value e.g. proceed with installation only if AppAlreadyInstalled < 1.3.44; this sounds hard to achieve because the registry value is stored as a string with two full-stops / periods? Note the registry check is not of the app to-be-installed, which is already taken care of by DowngradeErrorMessage Ta, Kristjan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
