I suspect keyfiles are your problem also but I'd also point out that you are using Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.Linq not Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller. Those classes, according to the SDK doco, are not fully tested. Try using Installer.OpenProduct and product.Components[] to get closer to the underlying API and see if that's the same behavior or not.

For these APIs to work in the way you want each file must be in its own component. You're enumerating components by component guid, and what you'll get returned is the key path file in the component. If the component contains a bunch of other files it can't tell you. The key file needs to be there, obviously. That's the big picture, and I can't tell from your WiX whether each of the files you have is a key file, but I see no KeyPath spec there.

Hello, I am currently using the Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller to check some components for an install that I have done. However I have noticed that a lot of my components are coming up with the InstallState.Absent state. They are mostly images, aspx, and css files, but since they show up as absent I can't get the path on disk for them. Below is my test code that I am using to and for the absent components I hit the FileNotFoundException , but the installer did install them. Is there anyway I can get the path to disk for these files or did I do something wrong in the wix to make them show up as absent? Also none of these components have the MultiInstance = yes and this install does support multi instance, but the product code I am testing with is for instance 0. public static IEnumerable<ComponentInstallation> GetComponentsForProduct(string productCode) { return ComponentInstallation.AllComponents.Where(c => c.ClientProducts.Any(p => p.ProductCode.Equals(productCode))); } foreach (var componentInstallation in GetComponentsForProduct(productCode)) { try { Console.WriteLine("File: {0}, Version: {1} State: {2}", componentInstallation.Path, Installer.GetFileVersion(componentInstallation.Path), componentInstallation.State); } catch (FileNotFoundException e) { Console.WriteLine("Component: {0}, State{1}", componentInstallation.ComponentCode, componentInstallation.State); } catch (ArgumentException) { Console.WriteLine("Component: {0}, State: {1}", componentInstallation.ComponentCode, componentInstallation.State); } } Below is a section of the Wix Code for one of the components that shows up as absent. <Component Id="css02_extallnotheme.css.component"> <File Source="net\exampleuseradmin\exampleuseradmin\app_themes\avantgarde\css\02_e xt-all-notheme.css" /> </Component> <Component Id="css03_dctExtJsExtensions.css.component"> <File Source="net\exampleuseradmin\exampleuseradmin\app_themes\avantgarde\css\03_d ctExtJsExtensions.css" /> </Component> <Component Id="css04_dctExtJsOverrides.css.component"> <File Source="net\exampleuseradmin\exampleuseradmin\app_themes\avantgarde\css\04_d ctExtJsOverrides.css" /> </Component> <Component Id="css05_extxthemegray.css.component"> <File Source="net\exampleuseradmin\exampleuseradmin\app_themes\avantgarde\css\05_e xt-xtheme-gray.css" /> </Component> Tyler Reid | Operations and Infrastructure | Accenture Software | P&C Insurance 1807 Jones Street | Bolivar, MO 65613| USA Office: +cc.xxx.xxx.xxxx | Fax: 417.777.3792 E-Mail: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> | www.accenture.com/pcsoftware<http://www.accenture.com/pcsoftware> ________________________________ This message is for the designated recipient only and may contain privileged, proprietary, or otherwise private information.
