You need a separate property for the search, and a CA to assign a value to the
VS12_ROOT_FOLDER if it exists.
IE:
<Fragment>
<Property Id="VS12_ROOT " Secure="yes">
<RegistrySearch Id="SearchForVS12RootPath" Root="HKLM"
Key="Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\SxS\VS7" Name="12.0" Type="raw" />
</Property>
</Fragment>
...
<DirectoryRef Id="TARGETDIR">
<Directory Id="VS12_ROOT_FOLDER" Name="VS12Root">
<Directory Id="VS12_Common7" Name="Common7">
<Directory Id="VS12_IDE" Name="IDE">
<Directory Id="VS12_Extensions" Name="Extensions">
<Directory Id="VS12_ExtensionsMicrosoft" Name="Microsoft">
<Directory Id="VS12_ExtensionsMicrosoftContracts"
Name="CodeContracts">
<Directory Id="VS12_ExtensionsMicrosoftContractsVersion"
Name="$(var.Version)">
<Component Id='VS12extension.manifestComp'
Guid='$(var.VS12VsixManifestCompGuid)'>
<Condition> VS12_ROOT </Condition>
...
<CustomAction Id="SetVS2013Dir" Directory=" VS12_ROOT_FOLDER" Value="VS12_ROOT"
/>

Subject: [WiX-users] problem with conditional component
I'm trying to install some files conditionally under VS2013 by using the
following snippets of code:
<Fragment>
<Property Id="VS12_ROOT_FOLDER" Secure="yes">
<RegistrySearch Id="SearchForVS12RootPath" Root="HKLM"
Key="Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\SxS\VS7" Name="12.0" Type="raw" />
</Property>
</Fragment>
...
<PropertyRef Id="VS12_ROOT_FOLDER"/>
...
<DirectoryRef Id="TARGETDIR">
<Directory Id="VS12_ROOT_FOLDER" Name="VS12Root">
<Directory Id="VS12_Common7" Name="Common7">
<Directory Id="VS12_IDE" Name="IDE">
<Directory Id="VS12_Extensions" Name="Extensions">
<Directory Id="VS12_ExtensionsMicrosoft" Name="Microsoft">
<Directory Id="VS12_ExtensionsMicrosoftContracts"
Name="CodeContracts">
<Directory Id="VS12_ExtensionsMicrosoftContractsVersion"
Name="$(var.Version)">
<Component Id='VS12extension.manifestComp'
Guid='$(var.VS12VsixManifestCompGuid)'>
<Condition>VS12_ROOT_FOLDER</Condition>
<File Id='VS12extension.manifest'
Name='extension.vsixmanifest' Source='VS11.extension.vsixmanifest' Vital='yes'/>
<File Id='VS12codecontracts_SM.png'
Name='codecontracts_SM.png' Source='codecontracts_SM.png' Vital='yes'/>
<File Id='VS12codecontracts_project.png'
Name='codecontracts_project.png' Source='codecontracts_project.png'
Vital='yes'/>
<File Id='VS12codecontracts_license.rtf'
Name='license.rtf' Source='$(var.License)' Vital='yes'/>
</Component>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</DirectoryRef>
The idea is to install some files under the VS installation folder, provided VS
2013 is installed. The code works fine on a machine with VS2013 installed.
However, on a machine where VS2013 is not installed, the installer creates a
folder on c:\ or d:\ called VS12Root populated with the structure above.
The registry on such a machine contains no entry for 12.0 under
Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\SxS\VS7.
How can I get Wix to not install anything if the VS12_ROOT_FOLDER property is
undefined, or what am I doing wrong?
