Typically you would create a Bootstrapper project which has a Bundle element and a Chain element. In the Bundle element you could use the util:ProductSearch and then use the result to notify the user in the BA or condition whether an MSI gets installed. The MSI would be added to the Bundle's Chain using an MsiPackage element.
http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/bundle/ You cannot use util:ProductSearch in an MSI Product element. That is why there is another ProductSerach which is related to the Upgrade table under the Wix schema in the chm. I have never used that one. >From the way the question was worded it sounds like you need to create a bootstrapper to detect dependent products, install prerequisites, and manage the install of the MSI. I would create the MSI without any UI and then either use one of the built-in WixStandardBA applications, or roll you own mba. Look at the wix source code for examples. src\Setup has the mba which was used to install the tools. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Identify-installed-product-by-productCode-tp7593540p7593546.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
