One option would be to try:
<Property Id="SYBASE_10INSTALLATION">
<RegistrySearch Id="RegSearch_Sybase_MajorVersion" Name="Location"
Key="SOFTWARE\Sybase\SQL Anywhere\10.0" Root="HKLM" Type="raw" />
</Property>
<Condition Message="MyApp requires Sybase 10.0. Please make sure it is
installed.">SYBASE_10INSTALLATION</Condition>
But, I have another question. Is this on a 64-bit OS with a 32-bit MSI?

Hi Sebastian,
Thank you for your reply. I tried the method as you suggested. The following
is my code:
<Property Id="SYBASE_MAJORVERSION">
<RegistrySearch Id="RegSearch_Sybase_MajorVersion"
Key="SOFTWARE\Sybase\SQL Anywhere\10.0" Root="HKLM" Type="raw" />
</Property>
<Condition Message="MyApp requires Sybase 10.0. Please make sure it is
installed.">SYBASE_MAJORVERSION</Condition>
However, when I install my msi, it always pops uo the warning message,
saying "MyApp requires Sybase 10.0. Please make sure it is installed." I
checked the registration. And the key "SOFTWARE\Sybase\SQL Anywhere\10.0"
does exist. I compared it with your example Adobe. Under
"Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\InstallPath", there is key value:
(standard) REG_SZ C:\Program\Adobe\Reader
But under "SOFTWARE\Sybase\SQL Anywhere\10.0", the key value is:
(standard) REG_SZ (No value)
Folder REG_SZ SQL Anywhere 10
JRE Version REG_SZ 5.0.100.3
Language REG_SZ DE
Location REG_SZ C:\Program Files\SQL Anywhere 10
Online Resources REG_SZ C:\Program Files\SQL Anywhere
10\support\ianywhere.html
Samples Location REG_SZ D:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Documents\SQL Anywhere 10\Samples
Shared Location REG_SZ C:\Program Files\SQL Anywhere 10
Is there something wrong in my <Property>? How can I change it?
Best regards,
Chunyan

Hi,
Add a <Condition> right under <Product>. The message in the @Message
attribute will be shown whenever the condition is false, and setup is
aborted.
The condition should contain a Property that gets initialized with
<RegistrySearch> or <FileSearch> to find a registry value or file from the
other software to identify if it is installed.
Example:
<Product>
<Property Id="ADOBEREADER9INSTALLED">
<RegistrySearch Id="ADOBEREADER9INSTALLED_REGSEARCH"
Key="Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\InstallPath" Root="HKLM" Type="raw"
/>
</Property>
<Condition Message="[ProductName] requires Adobe Reader 9.0 Please make
sure you it installed.">ADOBEREADER9INSTALLED</Condition>
<...>
</Product>
Best regards,
Sebastian Brand

Hi Wix-users,
My software needs another software (Sybase) as the prerequisite.
Therefore I need to check whether Sybase has been installed in the machine
and show the warning message if it is not installed. How can I define the
condition in the installer?
Best regards,
Chunyan
