Continuing on from a post I made a while back
(http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Burn-and-util-ProductSearch-Result-quot-state-quot-td7578828.html)
, the original issue has been fixed. When testing a bundle I've noticed an
inconsistency between the documentation and the expected behavior. Using the
following snippet on a clean VM, I've installed a bundle and then went to
uninstall it. The second run the detect condition is returning 5 instead of 3.
The documentation for the Util:ProductSearch only documents the states as:
state
Saves the state of the product: advertised (1), absent (2), or locally
installed (3).
<Fragment>
<util:ProductSearch Guid="{710F4C1C-CC18-4C49-8CBF-51240C89A1A2}"
Variable="VC2005SP1Installed" Result="state"/>
<PackageGroup Id="VC2005SP1_MFCLOC_REDIST_X86">
<ExePackage Id="VC2005SP1_MFCLOC_REDIST_X86"
Cache="no"
Compressed="no"
PerMachine="yes"
Permanent="yes"
Vital="yes"
DisplayName="Visual C++ 2005 SP1 (KB2538242)"
SourceFile="!(wix.PrerequisitePath)\vcredist_2005_sp1-2_x86.exe"
Name="payload\vcredist_2005_sp1-2_x86.exe"
DownloadUrl="http://.../vcredist_2005_sp1-2_x86.exe";
InstallCommand='/q'
DetectCondition="(VC2005SP1Installed = 3)"
/>
</PackageGroup>
</Fragment>
And from the second run burn log I see:
[0990:0BA4][2012-09-08T11:59:00]: Trying per-machine extended info for property
'State' for product: {710F4C1C-CC18-4C49-8CBF-51240C89A1A2}
[0990:0BA4][2012-09-08T11:59:00]: Setting numeric variable 'VC2005SP1Installed'
to value 5
>From
>(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa370131(v=vs.85).aspx):
INSTALLPROPERTY_PRODUCTSTATE
The state of the product returned in string form as "1" for advertised and "5"
for installed.
And finally, from Msi.h in the SDK,
typedef enum tagINSTALLSTATE
{
...
INSTALLSTATE_ADVERTISED = 1, // advertised feature
INSTALLSTATE_REMOVED = 1, // component being removed
(action state, not settable)
INSTALLSTATE_ABSENT = 2, // uninstalled (or action
state absent but clients remain)
INSTALLSTATE_LOCAL = 3, // installed on local drive
INSTALLSTATE_SOURCE = 4, // run from source, CD or net
INSTALLSTATE_DEFAULT = 5, // use default, local or source
} INSTALLSTATE;
Should the Wix Documentation read differently? (Ie, 1,2,5) I've tried searching
to see if this is a known issue, but haven't been able to find anything. Should
this be logged as a documentation bug?
Thanks,
Jacob
