[WiX-users] Conditionally Install Component if Registry Key Exists
I have a component I need to install only if a registry key exists which means an application has been installed. I need to assign the value of the registry key (it is a directory) to a property then use this property to copy files from. I have the following script so far but get an error The system cannot find the file '[MYTESTDIR]fileToCopy.dat'. Any help would really be appreciated. Property Id=MYTESTDIR RegistrySearch Id=NetFramework20 Root=HKLM Key=SOFTWARE\TEST\VALUE\1.00 Name=MyName Type=directory / /Property Directory Id=TARGETDIR Name=SourceDir Directory Id=ProgramFilesFolder Directory Id=TEST Name=Test Component Id=MyComponent Guid=E5FF53DE-1739-42c4-BE37-60F810C9CD69 ConditionMYTESTDIR/Condition File Id=fileToCopy.dat Name=fileToCopy.dat Source=[MYTESTDIR]fileToCopy.dat CopyFile Id=fileToCopy.datCopy DestinationProperty=WEBSERVICEBINFOLDER / /File /Directory /Directory /Directory Feature Id=MyFeature Title=MyFeature Level=1 ComponentRef Id=MyComponent / /Feature Brendan Rice Telephone +44 (0)28 9073 5749 Equiniti ICS Limited 205 Airport Road West, Belfast, BT3 9ED, Northern Ireland brendan.r...@equiniti-ics.commailto:brendan.r...@equiniti-ics.com www.equiniti-ics.comhttp://www.equiniti-ics.com/ The information contained in this message is confidential and is intended for the addressee(s) only.
