Hi everyone,
at the moment I am trying to find out whether another product on which
our product depends is installed. Retrieving the path to the folder from
the registry works flawlessly so far. However, I can't manage to get
further than this.
First I retrieve the path from the registry (which works):
<Property Id="PRODUCT_FOLDER">
<RegistrySearch Id='SearchProductInstallDir' Type='raw' Root='HKLM'
Key='[KEYNAME]' Name='Services' />
</Property>
PRODUCT_FOLDER now contains the path and I try to find out whether
[PRODUCT_FOLDER]\bin\file.exe exists. However, this doesn't seem to
work. In all cases PRODUCT_VALID is empty:
<Property Id="PRODUCT_VALID" >
<DirectorySearch Id="SearchProduct" Path="[PRODUCT_FOLDER]">
<DirectorySearch Id="SearchProduct.bin" Path="bin">
<FileSearch Name="file.exe" />
</DirectorySearch>
</DirectorySearch>
</Property>
I also tried this, which didn't do any good either:
<Property Id="PRODUCT_VALID" >
<DirectorySearch Id="SearchProduct" Path="[PRODUCT_FOLDER]\bin">
<FileSearch Name="file.exe" />
</DirectorySearch>
</Property>
Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this? Out of curiosity I tried
[WindowsFolder] instead of [PRODUCT_FOLDER] and it worked (file was
regedit.exe for testing).
Cheers,
--
