Ah, good idea, thanks! Karl
----Original Message---- 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. -----Original Message----- From: Karl Werner [mailto:[email protected] <[email protected]>] Sent: 15 January 2013 14:41 To: [email protected] 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!
