The evaluation order of launch conditions cannot be guaranteed. Also they are conditions on which to launch the msi so if the condition is true the message is NOT displayed. I can't see your conditions to see if that is an issue for you. If any launch conditions fail the rest of the conditions are not evaluated.

I have a registry value called *Number* with a value of 10. ![enter image description here][1] I used a *string value* with *REG_SZ* type. With that, as far as I understand, my variable will have the value *10* and not *#10*, like other types seem to do. So with my `WiX` installer I try to find that registry value like this: <?define myNumber="8" /> <Property Id="CHECKNUMBER"> <RegistrySearch Id="CheckNumber" Root="HKLM" Key="Software\MyNumbers" Name="Number" Type="raw" Win64="no" /> </Property> <Condition Message="Higher number"> </Condition> <Condition Message="Lower number"> </Condition> So I guess this will do a basic comparison from the registry value like this: if (<RegistryValue> > myNumber) ShowEmergentWindow saying: "Lower number" else ShowEmergentWindow saying: "Higher number" But this check doesn't work well. Even if I put the same value on the registry and inside my *myNumber*, it always launches *the first written condition*. I mean, if I change the order of the conditions, the first one is *ALWAYS* launched. I'm sure I'm misunderstanding something related with registry values comparison using *WiX installer*, but I don't know why this doesn't work as expected. Any idea? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/How-to-compare-strings-from-a-Registrykey-tp7588946.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How ServiceNow helps IT people transform IT departments: 1.
