ComponentSearch returns the KeyPath of the Component if it was installed.  
Otherwise, IIRC, the Property will be left blank.

upgrade

The issue I found with that is it is returning the key path of a HKCR value 
that I set in this component.  Then msiexec is returning
Info 1314. The specified path '00:\<REG VALUE>' is unavailable.  Then the 
property seems to be created.

My component ONLY set file association keys
So my goal is to determine if the association is already set or not.

Thoughts?

Is there a way to detect what components were installed on a previous install?



I am doing a major upgrade and want to detect if a specific component was 
installed before.



Thanks
