<Condition Message="This application requires Microsoft SQL Server.
Please install Microsoft SQL Server then run this installer again.">
<![CDATA[Installed OR (SQLSERVER><MSSQLSERVER)]]>
</Condition>
That says to throw the condition 'If the Property SQLSERVER does not
contain the Property MSSQLSERVER or the product is not already
Installed'
Try putting quotes around MSSQLSERVER if you want it to be a string
rather than a Property.
I may be wrong but that's how I understand it. See

MSSQLSERVER Is not a property, it is a literal string that should exist
within the Registry.
I'm essentially trying to check if 'MSSQLSERVER' exists within the
multi-string SQLSERVER.

What is the property MSSQLSERVER set to? You appear to have omitted this
from your code fragment.

Subject: [WiX-users] Conditional installed based on REG_MULTI_SZ value
Hi WiX gurus,
I'm using the "supposed" standard way of detecting multiple SQLServer
instances...
<Property Id="SQLSERVER">
<RegistrySearch Id="SQLServer" Root="HKLM"
Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server" Type="raw"
Name="InstalledInstances"/>
</Property>
<Condition Message="This application requires Microsoft SQL Server.
Please install Microsoft SQL Server then run this installer again.">
<![CDATA[Installed OR (SQLSERVER><MSSQLSERVER)]]>
</Condition>
But the Condition...
<![CDATA[Installed OR (SQLSERVER><MSSQLSERVER)]]>
Does not evaluate correctly.
For instance if the Property SQLSERVER only contains "[~]SQLEXPRESS[~]"
( according to the log )
It still allows the installation to proceed when it should not, so I'm
not convinced that using the >< is the correct way to check if 1 value
exists within a REG_MULTI_SZ variable.
Can anyone enlighten me as to what I may be doing wrong.
Also where can I find the correct documentation/list to find out what
are the correct conditional operatives I can use within a Condition
statement in WiX, preferably with examples. I Googled various sites, but
nothing definitive or helpful.
Thanks.
Dominique.
