I can't figure out why Candle doesn't seem to find the RegistrySearch element in the "util" namespace, as it throws this error:
Fragment element contains an unhandled extension element 'util:RegistrySearch'. Please ensure that the extension for elements in the 'http://schemas.microsoft. com/wix/UtilExtension' namespace has been provided. Maybe I'm not using the Fragment as it is intended? Any advice would be appreciated.

Another issue: candle couldn't recognise the "util" prefix for the util:RegistrySearch elements, so I added xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension"; to my top-level Wix element, but I'm now getting the following candle error: Fragment element contains an unhandled extension element 'util:RegistrySearch'. Please ensure that the extension for elements in the 'http://schemas.microsoft. com/wix/UtilExtension' namespace has been provided. Any idea what I might be missing?

Subject: RE: [WiX-users] Download and install Java Ahhhh perfect, I understand now, thanks. And I assume "[WixBundleLog_Java7Runtime]" is the location you want the Java installer log to output.

Subject: RE: [WiX-users] Download and install Java 1.7.0_21 is not a "normal" version number that WiX can compare so that is why I need the two stage search, the first one gets the registry key and then once you have that you can search for the proper version number in the MSI sub key. Specifying v7.0.210 in the comparison makes WiX treat what follows the "v" as a version number so the comparison is actually 7.0.210 >= 7.0.210 which is true. (Version comparison breaks the version string in to its component parts and compares each part.)

Subject: RE: [WiX-users] Download and install Java Cool, I think we'll go with this approach. Comparing what's in my registry with what seems to be going on below and since I have no experience with registry searches or ExePackages, I have some questions: 1) The Java version seems to be the value HKLM\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\Java7FamilyVersion, which seems to be what Java7FamilyVersion fetches. However, why doesn't WiX ever compare Java7FamilyVersion with what's supposed to be the correct value (i.e. 1.7.0_21)? 2) Since Java7FamilyVersion already seems to get the version, what's the point of doing the second registry search (i.e. "JavaProductVersion")? 3) In my registry, the JavaProductVersion looks like it would fetch "7.0.210", which would always result in the condition "JavaProductVersion >= v7.0.210" being FALSE, no? (Since "7.0.210" != "v7.0.210") 4) What is/should be "[WixBundleLog_Java7Runtime]"?
