[wix-users] How can a standard bootstrapper detect an MS Update?

[erwin john publico]

Command line commands and custom actions can only be executed by Wix Setups and not by Wix Bootstrapper right? Are there other extensions for the standard bootsrapper to achieve this?

 I'm sure there's an API to handle this, but you could also create a pipe to execute the commands listed here and then parse the output - http://serverfault.com/questions/263847/how-can-i-query-my-system-via-command-line-to-see-if-a-kb-patch-is-installed.
Look here for some example code on how to execute a command and parse the output in C++ - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/96ayss4b.aspx.

Hi All,
I started using the UtilExtension and used a RegistrySearch to search for KB3033929. It was later found that there are ways(Windows 7 Convenience Rollup Packages) where this update can be installed without the registry being made in:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\Packages\Package_ for_KB3033929_SP1~ 31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.1. 1
Is there a way for a standard bootstrapper to detect a MS Update, or to just this specific KB3033929?
Thanks,Erwin
