This is one way to do it.
You can make 2 variations of the component, one for each scenario, and
then put mutually exclusive component <Condition>s in the components.
e.g.
install condition requiring either sql express or sql server or both be
present on the machine
component 1:
condition: sql server detected
service install
dependency on sql server
component 2:
condition: sql express detected and not sql server detected
service install
dependency on sql express

Subject: [WiX-users] ServiceInstall/ServiceDependency
Hi...
I've been slapping together an installer for a window
service, and I added
<ServiceDependency Id="MSMQ" />
<ServiceDependency Id="MSSQLServer" />
To the .wxs file. When I ran the resulting msi on my dev box, the
service was installed but not all the dependencies applied.
Specifically, I have SqlExpress on my dev box, but not the full Sql
Server. When I looked at the properties of the installed service, it
had the MSMQ dependency, but the Sql Server one was simply dropped.
So
a) Is there any way to get it to put the dependency in even when
the dependency isn't there? (i.e. it won't run until the other
dependency is installed) or
b) Is there any way to make the msi conditional (i.e. either Sql
Server *or* SqlExpress are there)?
Thanks
Mark
