A util:ComponentSearch might be easier to work with. You could get the
component code from the interop MSI. All the MSIs that install that
particular dll ought to use the same component ID. Even developers should be
using the interop msi to install them the first place.

Subject: [WiX-users] Burn: Search GAC

>From my Bundle, I need to determine if the Microsoft Office Interop
assemblies are installed on the machine.  I think the only way to do this is
to search the gac for the assemblies.  This is because the assemblies can be
installed by various different packages and there may not be a product
install for them on the machine, even if they are there.

Ideally, I'd like to be able to search a directory tree from a root location,
e.g. "[WindowsFolder]Assembly", with a wildcard
"Microsoft.Office.Interop.*.dll" and have it tell me if files were found.
-- I do understand that his may not be quite possible right now.

Under the Product element when authoring Wix installers, the DirectorySeach
element as a "Depth" attribute.

Under Bundle, BAUtil's DirectorySearch does not have this attribute, so I'm
at a loss on how to search the tree under a directory.

How can this be accomplished under Bundle?

Thanks!

Karl
