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

[Hoover, Jacob]

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:

<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 > "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
