[wix-users] Chrome enterprise deployment

[Carlos Sosa]

After a long day I think I got to understand more things however, I can not get it to do what I need. I think I can pass the /install using the variable (havent gotten to that yet, it install with out passing it for now)
But the mayor issue is that I would like to NOT INSTALL chrome if its already installed, for that I'm trying to use DirectorySearch.... because I couldn't find a reference to a registry entry for Chrome. There are some entries in the registry but look like GUIs...
The problam is that the Directory search evaluates to THE PATH if dir found not true or false, and if it is not found doesn't get set to anything I just get the "didn't found path..."

What can I do?
Is there a better way to check if Chrome is installed?
Any help is appreciated, I already tried really hard to figure it out.

Best.

Use MsiProperty elements nested inside the MsiPackage element.
