[wix-users] Wix Bundle and DetectCondition

[Jacqueline MARECHAL]

Hello Jacob,

I am talking about .Net Core, not .Net Framework, but it is quite possible that the link you sent will help me understand how to create a similar extension.
But I need to study this in order to understand and eventually create my own extension.

Thank you :)
Jacqueline

Ok, I understand.
I will expressed it differently : how would you detect a version of .NET Desktop runtime.
All ideas are welcome.

Thank you

Step 1, explain the problem. Starting off by thinking you need to write custom code is a bit strange, as many have traversed the path before you using the existing capabilities and were able to accomplish the task at hand.

Hello,

I would like to build and evaluate complex DetectConditions.
I thought of several possibilities:


- Create an extension such util, to create additional functions like string parse, search on regular expressions and so on.
But I don't understand how to do this. Is there a document or a tutorial about ?


- Evaluate the condition directly in a custom bootstrapper.
But it seems that it is not possible to get the DetectCondition attribute of an ExePackage. InstallCondition is available, but not DetectCondition :(

Do you have any advice ? examples ? information ?

Thank you.
