Surely the installation state of a package shouldn't roam with the profile? HKCU\Software\Classes doesn't (on XP it's UsrClass.dat in %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows, on Vista that moves to AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows). And the files are installed to the local machine's disks - a given installation won't necessarily be in the same location on two different systems.
I don't think it does roam - all the data is under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-USER S-SID, whereas for All Users installs, it's under S-1-5-18. (Note: as always, this is an implementation detail and shouldn't be relied on.) It doesn't matter, though. All you need to know is that Windows Installer treats the All Users store and each user's store as separate, and will search only the user's store, if ALLUSERS is not present, or only the All Users store, if ALLUSERS=1. -- Mike Dimmick -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Arnson Sent: 29 March 2008 20:16 To: Donal McWeeney Cc: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] product search using product code? It doesn't do that because it's frequently not possible. For example, even an admin user wouldn't be able to peek into the per-user registry of a user whose profile isn't loaded (e.g., roaming profiles). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
