[wix-users] Antwort: Bundle: DetectCondition with semantic versioning

[Phill Hogland]

I seem to recall a Feature request for this issue:
http://wixtoolset.org/issues/4666/

Since semantic versioning is not supported in the current Burn vx.x.x.x version comparison, to my knowledge, as others indicated you need to process the version in a custom BA (or the WixStdBA with a bafunctions.dll) and then set a variable that you can use in the DetectCondition (or implement logic in one of the Plan handlers.  There are examples of both bafunctions.dll and custom BA and PlandPackageBegin in the wixtoolset source.

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
