SELFFOUND ... !(loc.Error2001) when you run this second msi you'll get the error saying that it was found and the installer will bail out.

Re: [WiX-users] Checking for Self install
Launch conditions display when the evaluation is FALSE, i.e. the logic *fails* To prevent installing my 32-bit package on a 64-bit OS, I use something like this: This means if "VersionNT64" evaluates to true (i.e. it's a 64-bit system), I flip that to 'false'. If the application is not already installed, then 'Installed' is also false - False OR False = False. Hence the condition evaluates to false and the error message is displayed to the user :) Sascha On Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 9:22 PM, Andy Clugston wrote: > At the moment I am trying to understand the conditional logic I posted. > Right now, when I attempt to install the condition is evaluating to TRUE and > causing the *first* install to fail.

Re: [WiX-users] Checking for Self install
At the moment I am trying to understand the conditional logic I posted. Right now, when I attempt to install the condition is evaluating to TRUE and causing the *first* install to fail. I am not understanding why it is evaluating this way. On Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 2:02 AM, Sascha Beaumont wrote: > So you want to prevent repair, uninstall and upgrades?

Re: [WiX-users] Checking for Self install
So you want to prevent repair, uninstall and upgrades? Ugh. If the Product ID isn't changing, Windows Installer should bail automatically with "Another version of this product is already installed" from memory, if you're using an automatically generated Product ID you can use the fact that Windows Installer ignores fourth version field to detect when none of the first three have changed. See my post from last week for more info.

[WiX-users] Checking for Self install
I am attempting to determine if a specific version of a product is already installed on the system. I basically want to do this to disallow/bail out of an install if the MSI that is being executed is already installed on the system. Here is my authoring using 3.0 RTM. I must be missing something simple: Upgrade table. FWIW, Product and Upgrade GUID is not changing for each build; only GUID that is changing is the Package GUID. Language attribute matches as well. Check to see if product previously installed *and* is this specific version. Installed AND SELFFOUND Thanks. -- Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
