[wix-users] Burn Bundle Status Query

[Douglas, Keith (STATCAN/STATCAN)]

I asked a related question about UpgradeCodes for bundles previously. The only way mentioned at the time was to use DTF to call Binder.Unbind and then parse ux\BootStrapperApplicationData.xml

Warning: Sometimes on some machines this does not clean up temporary directories (like \windows\temp or  \users\[user]\appdata\local\temp) like it should (?).

Subject: [wix-users] Burn Bundle Status Query

With MSIs, Windows provide various installer functions to query an MSI and its status on a system, e.g. functions that start with Msi* such as MsiEnumRelatedProducts, which allows us to determine whether a product is installed. There are also APIs to query an MSI to extract, for example, its upgrade code.



I would like to confirm that there are no equivalent  APIs for the WiX bundle (EXEs)? That is, there is no meaningful way to determine the upgrade code for a WiX bundle and the only way to check if a bundle is installed is to search through the HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall?
