Hi everyone,
I'm new to Wix, and got misunderstood about the behavior of util:RegistrySearch. The following code is from a project, and detects if Visual Studio Professional is installed. I have installed Visual Studio 2012 and update 2. But the Problem is that the required registry key does not exist, but the check passed. On another machine without Visual Stuidio installed the installation process was blocked. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Include xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"; xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension"; xmlns:dd="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2005/01/dd";> <!-- Detect if Professional is installed --> <util:RegistrySearch Id="ProCheck_ProfessionalCore_DetectKey" Variable="ProCheck_ProfessionalCore_DetectKey" Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DevDiv\vs\Servicing\$(var.VSRegVer)\professional" Value="Install"/> <dd:Blocker ShortName="ProfressionalBlock" Type="Stop" Condition="( NOT (ProCheck_ProfessionalCore_DetectKey = 1 )) AND (CurrentOperation = "Install") " DisplayText="This installation requires Microsoft Visual Studio Professional, Premium or Ultimate 2012, and Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Update 2 or later. " /> </Include> so, my question is: if the required registry key can not be found, will it try to detect alternative keys? or how does it work?
