I suspect part of your problem is your concept of what a DirectorySearch or
FileSearch does. Both searches look for directories and files that already
exist at the time of the install. For example, I use a FileSearch to recover
the path to a web.config so I can recover it's encrypted connection string
during an upgrade. The DirectorySearch and FileSearch look like this:
<Fragment>
<PropertyRef Id="INSTALLLOCATION" />
<Property Id="WEB_CONFIG_PATH" Secure="yes">
<DirectorySearch Id="InstallLocationSearch"
Path="[INSTALLLOCATION]">
<DirectorySearch Id="WebFolderSearch" Path="Web">
<DirectorySearch Id="ContractFolderSearch" Path="2008">
<DirectorySearch Id="WebHostFolderSearch" Path="ProductName">
<FileSearch Id="WebConfigFileSearch" Name="Web.config" />
</DirectorySearch>
</DirectorySearch>
</DirectorySearch>
</DirectorySearch>
</Property>
</Fragment>

Subject: [WiX-users] FileSearch issues
Hi,
I am still struggling with my FileSearch - no matter what I try, it always pops
up the "File does not exist next to MSI" message.
I have tried using "SourceDir" as well as the absolute path to where both the
MSI & the inifile reside - same negative results.
Does anyone have an idea as to where I am screwing up...?
Thanks, as always, for any pointers!
<Property Id="MASTERINIFILE_EXISTS">

<FileSearch

Name="Master.ini" />
</DirectorySearch>
</Property>
<Condition Message="File does not exist next to MSI">
