Gesendet von:   "wix-users" <wix-users-bounces at lists.wixtoolset.org>


Hi all, 

I have a bootstrapper installer including an ExePackage of PostgreSQL 
installer. 
So long I had a RegistrySearch for the Version value 

    <util:RegistrySearch Id="FindPostgreSQLx64" 
                         Root="HKLM" 
 
 Key="SOFTWARE\PostgreSQL\Installations\$(var.POSTGRESQLX64)" 
                         Value="Version" 
                         Variable="PostgreSQLx64" 
                         Win64="yes"/>

and a DetectCondition in the ExePackage 

DetectCondition="(PostgreSQLx64= v$(var.POSTGRESQLFULLVERSION))" 

with <?define POSTGRESQLFULLVERSION="9.3.6.1" ?> 

This has worked fine so far, but with version 9.4.4.3 PostgreSQL has 
changed the format of the Version value in the registry to semantic 
versioning like 9.4.4-3. 

With a new define 

  <?define POSTGRESQLSEMANTICVERSION="9.4.4-3" ?> 

the DetectCondition 

DetectCondition="(PostgreSQLx64= v$(var.POSTGRESQLSEMANTICVERSION))" 

will cause the error 

Error 0x8007000d: Failed to parse condition '(PostgreSQLx64= v9.4.4-3)' at 

position: 22 

So I thought the v before the $ will handle the compare as a Version 
compare but when I remove it I will get the error 
... 
Setting string variable 'PostgreSQLx64' to value '9.4.4-3' 
... 
Error 0x8007000d: Failed to parse condition "(PostgreSQLx64= 9.4.4-3)". 
Unexpected character at position 17. 


How do I have to change my detect condition to get it working? 

Many thanks, 
  Thomas
