[wix-users] looking to see if "version" of a pre requisite is installed

Tue Aug 25 13:35:05 PDT 2015

Awesome thanks it works:

<!-- Check for Microsoft Sync Framework 2.1 Core Components x86 -->
    <Property Id="SQLSYNCX86SEARCH" Secure="yes">
      <ProductSearch IncludeMinimum="yes" Minimum="2.1.1648.0" IncludeMaximum="yes" Maximum="2.1.9999.9" UpgradeCode="{6555CEBF-27C8-4E55-909B-988FDA708872}"/>
    </Property>

Condition:
<Condition Message="$(var.PlatformProductName) requires Microsoft Sync Framework 2.1 Core Components (x86). Please install the pre-requisite, then restart the setup.">
      <![CDATA[(Installed OR (SQLSYNCX86SEARCH AND NOT VersionNT64) OR (VersionNT64))]]>
    </Condition>

Works like a charm...
I also check the x64 version of Sync Framework, as well as Sync Framework Database Providers and it is working :)

Thanks,

Steve

Ps sigh... couldn't wrap my head on how to do the condition check...

Sigh, maybe I need more coffee but...
Here is what I have: 
<Property Id="SQLSYNCX86SEARCH" Secure="yes">
      <ProductSearch IncludeMinimum="yes" Minimum="2.1.1648.0" IncludeMaximum="yes" Maximum="2.1.9999.9" UpgradeCode="{6555CEBF-27C8-4E55-909B-988FDA708872}"/>
    </Property>

Condition:
<Condition Message="$(var.PlatformProductName) requires Microsoft Sync Framework 2.1 Core Components (x86). Please install the pre-requisite, then restart the setup.">
      <![CDATA[(Installed OR (SQLSYNCX86SEARCH >= "2.1.1648.0" AND NOT VersionNT64) OR (VersionNT64))]]>
    </Condition>

Of course SQLSYNCX86SEARCH returns the productcode GUID of the product it found using the upgrade code, 

I want to evaluate that SQLSYNCX86SEARCH is not empty (because if it can't find a product with that upgradecode the property will be empty... so what would I put in the condition?
<Condition Message="$(var.PlatformProductName) requires Microsoft Sync Framework 2.1 Core Components (x86). Please install the pre-requisite, then restart the setup.">
      <![CDATA[(Installed OR (SQLSYNCX86SEARCH <ISNOTEMPTY> AND NOT VersionNT64) OR (VersionNT64))]]>
    </Condition>

Thanks,

Steve

Try it without a default value on the property.

Okay I am trying this:

<Property Id="SQLSYNCX86SEARCH" Secure="yes" Value="0">
      <ProductSearch IncludeMinimum="yes" Minimum="2.1.1648.0" IncludeMaximum="yes" Maximum="2.1.9999.9" UpgradeCode="{6555CEBF-27C8-4E55-909B-988FDA708872}"/>
    </Property>

And a condition:
<Condition Message="$(var.PlatformProductName) requires Microsoft Sync Framework 2.1 Core Components (x86). Please install the pre-requisite, then restart the setup.">
      <![CDATA[(Installed OR (SQLSYNCX86SEARCH >= "2.1.1648.0" AND NOT VersionNT64) OR (VersionNT64))]]>
    </Condition>

But when it compiles I get this error:
Error	1	ICE61: Upgrade.ActionProperty SQLSYNCX86SEARCH cannot be authored in the Property table.	C:\Dev\Core Technologies\Releases\4.4.RTM\Setup\TMC_Client_Setup\Product.wxs	56	1	TMC_Client_Setup

Sigh...

Steve

Could you search by upgrade code using the Upgrade/UgradeVersion providing the minimum version you support with a OnlyDetect=yes?  It also looks like we simplified that with a Property/ProductSearch[@UpgradeCode=X, Minimum=Y].

Hi,

A product I am working on installs various Microsoft "pre requisites". Once being:

<!-- Check for Microsoft Sync Framework 2.1 Core Components
x86 -->

<Property
Id="SQLSYNCX86SEARCH" Secure="yes" Value="0">

<RegistrySearch Id="SQLSyncx86Search"

Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{7AC8EF88-D996-4D47-B40C-4DD93E307481}"

Name="DisplayVersion"

Root="HKLM"

Type="raw"

Win64="no"/>

</Property>

And a condition check:

<![CDATA[(Installed OR (SQLSYNCX86SEARCH > "0" AND NOT
VersionNT64) OR (VersionNT64))]]>

</Condition>

This was working great until a "newer" version of SQL Sync came out...

I need to look for Microsoft Sync Framework 2.1 Core Components version 2.1.1648.0 and greater...

Is there an easy way to look up without knowing the Product GUID?

is that right?

Cheers,

Steve
