For 32 bit OS I have Win64="no" set, for 64 bit OS I have Win64="yes"
I am looking for the Uninstall GUID registry key, checking that... it is either installed or not... pretty simple...

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Registry search and condition message in installer Wouldn't your x86 search need to search the WoW6432Node of HKLM to be correct? HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall But also, it seems to me that you should be using the MSI API (MsiGetProductInfo specifically) in a custom action to get information about other installed applications instead of querying hard-coded registry entries.

Can't get my head around the logic but it works...

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Registry search and condition message in installer That would only work at build time, if you were compiling an x86 MSI and an x64 MSI. I think you just need to extend your condition to something like this: Installed OR (SQLSYNCX64SEARCH > "0" AND VersionNT64) OR (NOT VersionNT64) Installed OR (SQLSYNCX86SEARCH > "0" AND NOT VersionNT64) OR (VersionNT64) On 19 December 2012 13:32, Steven Ogilvie <steven.ogil...@titus.com> wrote: > Then I will have to use $(var.Platform) <> "x86" that should work > > -----Original Message----- > From: Peter Shirtcliffe [mailto:pshirtcli...@sdl.com] > Sent: December-19-12 5:11 AM > To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Registry search and condition message in > installer > > VersionNT64 is undefined on a 32-bit OS so Installed OR (SQLSYNCX64SEARCH > "0" AND VersionNT64) would be > FALSE or (something AND FALSE) === FALSE > which would cause the message to display. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Steven Ogilvie [mailto:steven.ogil...@titus.com] > Sent: 19 December 2012 04:19 > To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Registry search and condition message in > installer > > Oops I should have said as well... > > The 32 bit version is checked and correct since it is installed so the > logic is correct for the 32 bit check of <Property > Id="SQLSYNCX86SEARCH" Value="0"> it's the 64bit check that is failing > on the 32 bit OS > > -----Original Message----- > From: Rob Mensching [mailto:r...@robmensching.com] > Sent: December-18-12 7:19 PM > To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Registry search and condition message in > installer > > I always use a verbose log file to check the values of Properties since that where I usually make my mistakes. > > > On Tue, Dec 18, 2012 at 3:14 PM, StevenOgilvie <sogil...@msn.com> wrote: > >> I have a 32 bit installer, it can run on a 32 bit or a 64 bit OS... >> On the 32 bit OS only the 32 bit pre requisites are run, but on the >> 64 bit OS both 32/64 bit pre requisites are run. >> >> The installer verifies that the pre requisites are installed (ya its >> overkill but that is another story)... >> >> On a 64 bit machine all works fine, on a 32 bit OS I am running into >> errors where the condition message displays even though it shouldn't, >> I have been playing around with this for too long, what am I doing >> wrong? thanks in advance... >> >> Registry check: >> >> <Property Id="SQLSYNCX86SEARCH" Value="0"> >> <RegistrySearch Id="SQLSyncx86Search" >> >> >> > Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{7AC8EF88-D99 > 6-4D47- > B40C-4DD93E307481}" >> Name="DisplayVersion" >> Root="HKLM" >> Type="raw" >> Win64="no"/> >> </Property> >> >> <Property Id="SQLSYNCX64SEARCH" Value="0"> >> <RegistrySearch Id="SQLSyncx64Search" >> >> >> > Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{A4E269C1-168 > D-40D3- > 9ABD-57FE4D4DB537}" >> Name="DisplayVersion" >> Root="HKLM" >> Type="raw" >> Win64="yes"/> >> </Property> >> >> Condition Message: >> <Condition Message="Requires Microsoft Sync Framework 2.1 Core >> Components >> (x86) installed.
