I have used util:ProductSearch to detect condition for my BurnPackage, but it doesn't work, I use the last official release 3.9R2, the variable assigned is equal to 2 (absent) even if the package is installed (I can check manually the registry and I can find the UpgradeCode of the package in a variable BundleUpgradeCode inside the installed product sections) <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"; xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension";> <Fragment> <util:ProductSearch UpgradeCode="{XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}" Variable="MyBurnPackage_Installed" Result="state" /> <PackageGroup Id="MyBurnPackageGroup"> <ExePackage Id="MyBurnPackage" Cache="no" Compressed="no" Permanent="yes" Vital="yes" SourceFile="..\Externals\MyBurnPackage.exe" Name="MyBurnPackage.exe" DetectCondition="MyBurnPackage_Installed > 2"/> </PackageGroup> </Fragment> </Wix> Is there any mistake in my code or is there a bug in the util:ProductSearch extension?How can I make this code working?Thanks
