[wix-users] Windows Update

[Phill Hogland]

I think that you need to determine if the update is available as a redistributable, the type of redistributable (exe, msu, etc.), and how the vendor advises you to detect if the update is already installed.  From there you would typically use ExePackage or MsuPackage and configure the DetectCondition and/or the InstallCondition as documented in the chm (or you could implement custom detect logic/plan logic in the mba, but often the standard approach is sufficient).

Subject: [wix-users] Windows Update

We have determined that an application we are installing requires a certain Windows security update. Clearly you would hope users regularly run Windows Update and keep their systems up-to-date but, just in case, is it possible for an installer (MBA) to:

a)       determine if the update has been installed

b)      if not, download and install it?
(and, obviously, how do I do that?:-))

Thanks
