Re: [WiX-users] Detecting if IIS is installed
I did consider this, and I suspect it would work by providing a different error. The problem is that that error will not be caught as a part of the conditions, which makes the condition code kind of useless. In addition, the lengthy delay (3 to 5 minutes) when calculating space needed that is produced by this missing key would still be present. I had assumed that the delay would not be there if the check were done by a condition rather than the cost finalization process. I will try to change the initial value of the string if that turns out to be the only way. -Nathan -Original Message- From: Blair [mailto:os...@live.com] Sent: Friday, February 26, 2010 6:43 PM To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.'
