[wix-users] How to do a conditional FileSearch?

[Lewis Henderson]

Thanks Fyodor,

But the AssignToProperty is a YesNoType parameter according to the spec, and causes only the path itself to be assigned to a property instead of the complete filespec.

Try to put DirectorySearch element under the RegistrySearch element:
<Property Id="JDK_HOME" Secure="yes">

      <RegistrySearch Id="jdk_home" Root="HKLM"
Key="Software\JavaSoft\Java Development Kit\[JDK_VERSION]"
Name="JavaHome" Type="raw">
         <DirectorySearch Id="jdk_jvm" Path="[JDK_HOME]" Depth="3"
AssignToProperty=JDK_JVM >

            <FileSearch Name="jvm.dll" />

      </DirectorySearch>

     </RegistrySearch>

    </Property>
